23rd Biennale of Sydney: rīvus

In the 23^rd Biennale of Sydney, participants from across six continents and beyond the realm of the visual arts will explore our connections, and disconnections, with water, and as a result, with each other.

Rivers, wetlands and other salt and freshwater ecosystems will feature in rīvus (meaning stream in Latin) as dynamic living systems with varying degrees of political agency.

With José Roca as artistic director and a curatorium of Paschal Daantos Berry, Anna Davis, Hannah Donnelly and Talia Linz, the 2022 edition of the biennale will be articulated through a series of conceptual wetlands and imagined ecosystems populated by artworks, public programs, experiments, research and activisms, following the currents of meandering tributaries that expand into a delta of interrelated ideas.

The National Art School is one of several venues.
