The 25th Biennale of Sydney, titled "Rememory", runs from March 14 to June 14, 2026, featuring 83 artists from 37 countries across five venues, including the White Bay Power Station and the Art Gallery of NSW. Curated by Hoor Al Qasimi, this free, international contemporary art event explores themes of memory, history, and belonging.
The Biennale of Sydney is one of the leading international contemporary art events. It plays an indispensable role in Australiaās engagement with the world, and a meaningful role in the life of the nation.
Since its inception in 1973, the Biennale of Sydney has provided a platform for art and ideas, showcasing the work of 2,400 artists from more than 130 countries. Today it is considered one of the leading international contemporary art events, recognised for commissioning and presenting innovative, thought-provoking art from Australia and around the globe.
This yearās theme refers to a ārevisiting, reconstructing, and reclaiming histories that have been erased or repressed.ā Rememory signifies the intersection of memory and history, where recollection becomes an act of reassembling fragments of the pastāwhether personal, familial, or collective. The 25th edition of the Biennale connects the delicate space between remembering and forgetting. By engaging with Rememory, artists will highlight marginalised narratives, share untold stories, and inspire audiences to rethink how memory shapes identity, belonging, and the creation and celebration of new communities and connections.
White Bay Power Station is firing up once again ā not for energy, but for the 25th edition of the Biennale of Sydney, which returns to the historic site (and plenty of other locations) for a mammoth free program of art installations and cultural activities.
White Bay is where youāll find a massive hand-built clay oven by Argentinian artist Gabriel Chaile, which will be used to cook Peruvian food for one-off events during the three-month festival. Itās also where youāll find weekly Memory Lane food markets with vendors offering Palestinian, Lebanese, Italian and Chinese eats, among other cuisines.
Then thereās the resonant community performance by Lebanese artist Mounira Al Solh featuring a large vat of tabouli, in which attendees are invited to eat at Granvilleās Blouza Hall, one of a long list of new venues hosting some of this yearās 83 artists and their works.
Itās all part of artistic director Hoor Al Qasimiās plan to extend the the program further into western Sydney. Lewers: Penrith Regional Gallery, Parramatta Artist Studios, Fairfield City Museum & Gallery and Campbelltown Arts Centre will host artworks and performances, as well as central locations such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
