The Biennale of Sydney has announced the curatorial vision, first wave of 37 artists and collectives, and exhibition locations for the 25th edition, titled Rememory. The major international contemporary art festival will be open free to the public from 14 March to 14 June 2026, presented in various locations across Sydney.
Led by internationally acclaimed curator Artistic Director Hoor Al Qasimi, the 25th Biennale of Sydney: Rememory takes its title from celebrated author Toni Morrison, exploring the intersection of memory and history as a means of revisiting, reconstructing, and reclaiming histories that have been erased or repressed. By engaging with Rememory, artists from across the world and within Australia reflect on their own roots while engaging with Sydney and its surrounding communities and histories, exploring global themes that connect us.
The edition will highlight marginalised narratives, share untold stories, and inspire audiences to rethink how memory shapes identity and belonging, giving voice to stories from Aboriginal communities and the divergent diasporas that shape Australia today. A dedicated program for children and young audiences will provide space and exploration for these stories to be passed on to the next generations.
The largest contemporary art event of its kind in Australia, the 25th Biennale of Sydney will be presented at Art Gallery of New South Wales, Campbelltown Arts Centre, Chau Chak Wing Museum at the University of Sydney, Penrith Regional Gallery and the iconic restored White Bay Power Station.
