25th Biennale of Sydney: Rememory Review

Running until 14 June, the 25th Biennale of Sydney, titled 'Rememory' and curated by Hoor Al Qasimi, showcases 143 pieces from 83 artists hailing from 37 nations, with an emphasis on overlooked histories. The concept of 'rememory' originates from Toni Morrison's 1987 novel 'Beloved.' The event has come under fire due to Al Qasimi's pro-Palestinian stance. Highlights include Tuan Andrew Nguyen's film at the Chau Chak Wing Museum, installations by Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme at Campbelltown Arts Centre, Khalid Albaih's photography at Penrith Regional Gallery, and Massinissa Selmani's '1000 Villages' (2015). Additionally, 'The Heart of the Universe' (2026) by John Harvey and Walter Waia is displayed at White Bay Power Station, alongside 'Ngurrara Canvas II' (1997) at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
