Malta to debut at Gwangju Biennale 2026

The Malta Pavilion will present ‘Bejn/In-Between’ at the prestigious South Korean contemporary art event opening in September

Malta is participating for the first time in the Gwangju Biennale, one of Asia’s most prestigious platforms for contemporary art, Arts Council Malta has announced. Malta’s participation is supported by the Ministry for the Arts, Lands and Local Government.

Taking place from September 5 to November 15 in Gwangju, the biennale – now in its 16th edition – provides a global stage for experimental and innovative artistic practices. Titled You Must Change Your Life and led by Singaporean artist and curator Ho Tzu Nyen as artistic director, this edition explores the transformative power of art in a time of multiple crises and urgencies.

The Malta Pavilion will present Bejn/In-Between, a major new commission that brings together four leading contemporary artistic voices from Malta and Gozo: Norbert Francis Attard, PONKS (Sam Alekksandra and Julien Vinet) and Michael Quinton.
