On this page, you may find the most up-to-date information about the 13th General Assembly of IBA in Sydney, Australia, which will take place between June 10th and 14th, 2026 during the closing days of the 25th Biennale of Sydney – Rememory.
Founded in 1973, the Biennale of Sydney is one of the longest-running and most respected biennials in the world. Known for its commitment to experimental, interdisciplinary, and socially engaged art, the Biennale has consistently positioned itself as a key appointment for artistic practices across the Asia-Pacific and worldwide. Recent editions have foregrounded urgent global issues while remaining deeply rooted in the unique histories and ecologies of the continent and its First Nations.
Marking a new chapter for IBA, with this being our first General Assembly held in Oceania, we are proud to collaborate with one of the region’s most iconic contemporary art institutions, represented within IBA by its CEO, Barbara Moore, who last year took up the role as Vice-President of IBA. As always, the General Assembly will include an engaging program for both members and the general public, with a strong focus on regional issues that echo the curatorial approach set by Hoor Al Qasimi as Artistic Director of the 25th Biennale of Sydney.
Those interested in attending are requested to confirm their expression of interest.
