22nd Biennale of Sydney 

14 March – 8 June 2020

Monday – Sunday, 10am – 5pm

The 22nd Biennale of Sydney is an artist- and First Nations-led endeavour, presenting an expansive exhibition of contemporary art that connects local communities and global networks.

NIRIN, a Wiradjuri word meaning edge, is a world of endless interconnected centres; a space to gather, to share, to rejoice, disrupt, re-imagine or pierce through dominant narratives to express a different kind of experience.
