The Biennale of Sydney is returning to White Bay Power Station in 2026.

The Biennale of Sydney returns to White Bay Power Station in 2026 with its 25th edition, Rememory, a bold and thought-provoking celebration of contemporary art curated by internationally acclaimed Artistic Director Hoor Al Qasimi. Presented free to the public, Rememory explores how memory and history shape identity, belonging, and collective storytelling.
