Kochi-Muziris Biennale
12 December 2025–31 March 2026Kochi-Muziris Biennale is South Asia’s longest-running event for contemporary art and a platform where artists respond to the country from within it.
The sixth edition—titled For the Time Being and curated by artist Nikhil Chopra with HH Art Spaces, a Goa-based artist-led organisation—turns further toward process and relation. Participants include acclaimed Indian artist, poet, and scholar Gulam Mohammed Sheikh, Nigerian-born multidisciplinary artist Otobong Nkanga, and Liverpool-based queer feminist activist Janet Price.
This edition imagines itself as a ‘living ecosystem’ held together by friendship economies and shared time. Kochi remains its protagonist, but this time the city breathes through many bodies at once.
