Sydney Spring 2026 Art Highlights: Four Exhibitions and the 25th Biennale

In spring 2026, Sydney's art scene is highlighted by the 25th Biennale of Sydney, curated by Hoor Al Qasimi under the theme 'Rememory,' which investigates histories without physical traces. Concurrently, four exhibitions across the city engage with material innovation and embodied experiences to address contemporary issues. Kirtika Kain presents 'Unkept' at Chau Chak Wing Museum until 22 September, exploring Dalit lineage through anti-caste traditions. Ron Mueck's 'Encounter' at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, featuring works like 'Havoc' (2025), runs through 12 April. Nadia Hernández's solo show 'Por la orilla de la quebrada' at STATION, examining Venezuelan cotidianidad, is on view until 11 April. 'An Offering, A Burning, A Prayer' at 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, with artists including Choy Ka Fai, explores fire as renewal until 29 March. These exhibitions collectively challenge legacies and reimagine historical narratives through diverse artistic approaches.
