Kolkata International Art Biennale
The Kolkata International Art Biennale 2026 (4th Edition) presents a dynamic platform for contemporary artistic expression in an increasingly globalised world. Bringing together diverse voices, the exhibition reflects how artists navigate shifting cultural, technological and social landscapes while remaining rooted in their histories and identities.
Centered around the theme Memory and Time, the biennale explores ideas of migration, belonging and transformation. By engaging with both local traditions and global influences, participating artists examine how notions of home, identity and experience evolve across geographies and generations.
Together, the exhibition creates a rich dialogue across cultures, offering a layered perspective on contemporary realities and the role of art in shaping collective memory.
