We are pleased to support the participation of UK-based artists Joe Namy, Nora Adwan, Keith Piper, Marianne Keating and Derek Ogbourne in the 25th Biennale of Sydney (14 March – 14 June 2026).
This year's Biennale theme is Rememory. A means of revisiting, reconstructing, and reclaiming histories that have been erased or repressed, Rememory signifies the intersection of memory and history, where recollection becomes an act of reassembling fragments of the past -whether personal, familial, or collective. The 25th edition of the Biennale connects the delicate space between remembering and forgetting. By engaging with Rememory, artists will highlight marginalised narratives, share untold stories, and inspire audiences to rethink how memory shapes identity, belonging, and the creation and celebration of new communities and connections. Exhibition entry is free.
The Artists
Derek Ogbourne is best known for his exhilarating, at times wildly physical works across all art forms, centred around big themes of life and death, vision, landscape, beauty and the sublime. His work is deeply rooted in the dichotomy between resilience and fragility - what it is to endure and what it is to be human.
Joe Namy is a Lebanese artist and musician based in London, whose practice encompasses sound, and its history and impact on the built environment. His work critically engages with the gender dynamics of bass, migration patterns of instruments, and the complexities of translation - from language to language, from score to sound, from drum to dance.
Keith Piper is a visual artist and academic, and founding member of the British BLK Art Group (active 1979–1984). Utilising a research-driven, site-specific process, he has developed a particular interest in the ways in which history and social relationships can be articulated through artwork and narration.
Marianne Keating is an Irish artist and researcher based in London whose practice explores the complex legacies of colonialism, migration and empire, particularly the often-overlooked experiences of the Irish diaspora in Jamaica. Through visual, material and oral traces, she reconstructs and reimagines these fragmented histories using a multidisciplinary approach.
Nora Adwan is an Irish-Palestinian artist. Her practice weaves together poetry, fiction, and documentary, drawing on diverse geographies and personal experience, with translation and shifts in language often playing a central role in shaping layered narratives that move between place and memory.
