18th Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Inner Sanctum

The Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Inner Sanctum presents works by artists, poets and makers interested in the human condition. Here the idea of an inner sanctum illustrates the private or sacred spaces we create and the faculty of imagination that allows us to see culture and society differently.

Curated by José Da Silva, the 2024 biennial provides a snapshot of contemporary Australia that is reflective and hopeful. Exhibitions, performances and talks will explore the complexities of human experience, as well as human engagement with the world and each other.
