Bangkok is preparing to transform itself once again. The Bangkok Art Biennale 2026 has officially announced its return, and this fifth edition promises to be its most spiritually charged and conceptually daring yet. Running from Oct. 29, 2026 to Feb. 28, 2027, the Biennale will unfold across the city’s sacred temples, civic institutions, and urban landmarks, inviting audiences into a dialogue between light and darkness, desire and transcendence.
The theme, “Angels and Mara,” may have drawn from Bangkok’s full ceremonial name, Krung Thep, the “City of Angels,” and the Buddhist figure Mara, who represents temptation, fear, and mortality. It’s a duality that resonates far beyond religious symbolism, touching on the psychological and political tensions of our time.

Visitors will encounter installations and performances in temples or heritage sites like Wat Arun, Wat Pho, and Wat Prayoon, as well as in Bangkok’s leading cultural institutions, including the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC), Museum Siam, the National Museum Bangkok, and the National Gallery of Thailand. The city’s newest mixed-use development, One Bangkok, will also serve as a contemporary counterpoint to the historic sites.
The first wave of participating artists includes a compelling mix of international and Thai voices. American conceptualist Mel Chin, Japanese iconoclast Yasumasa Morimura, and Chinese provocateurs Sun Yuan & Peng Yu are among the global names confirmed. Thai artists such as Manit Sriwanichpoom, Mary Pakinee, Kornkarn Rungsawang, and Teerapon Sisung will bring local nuance and urgency to the Biennale’s spiritual inquiry. Their works are expected to challenge, comfort, and provoke — sometimes all at once.

With its ambitious theme and diverse first-wave lineup, Bangkok Art Biennale 2026 will be a citywide meditation on what it means to live, desire, and believe in an increasingly fractured world.
Visit the Bangkok Art Biennale’s official website to check out the first 15 revealed artists, while you can follow their Instagram and Facebook for more announcements to come.
