Bangkok Art Biennale 2026 adds new artists to its 'Angels & Mara' line-up
Bangkok loves a contradiction. Shrines sit beside shopping malls, street food rubs shoulders with skincare counters and the sacred is rarely far from the spectacular. So it feels only right that Bangkok Art Biennale 2026 is leaning into the push and pull of opposites.
The citywide art festival has announced a fresh wave of 27 artists for this year’s edition, bringing the total line-up to 42 artists from Thailand and around the world.
The theme is 'Angels & Mara', a broad look at the forces that tug between light and dark, hope and despair, virtue and temptation. In other words: big questions about belief, power and identity, set against some of Bangkok’s most recongisable spaces.
