Bienal de São Paolo

Bienal de São Paolo’s 36th edition encourages reflection on humanity and nature under the theme “Not All Travellers Walk Roads—Of Humanity as Practice.” Drawing from bird-migration routes and river flows, the contemporary art exhibition features 120 artists’ works that highlight themes of displacement and memory for mankind and birds, as both species migrate and carry memories, experiences and languages across borders and bodies of water. Included in the exhibition are works by Saudi Arabia-born Hajra Waheed and the late Moroccan modern painter Mohamed Melehi and Algerian textile artist Hamid Zénati.

São Paolo, Brazil, September 6 through January 11, 2026.
