"Titled "في الحِلّ والترحال" / In Interludes and Transitions, the exhibition is led by Co-Artistic Directors Nora Razian and Sabih Ahmed, while Milan-based architect Sammy Zarka contributed as the Associate Architect and Exhibition Designer. The exhibition scenography is designed by Formafantasma, and the event brings together more than 65 artists from over 37 countries, including more than 25 newly commissioned works."
"Structured around ideas of movement, continuity, and transformation, In Interludes and Transitions draws on histories of migration and exchange that connect the Arab region with broader geographies. Rather than advancing a singular narrative, the exhibition unfolds through a sequence of spatial and conceptual transitions, bringing together practices that engage with sound, performance, materiality, and embodied forms of knowledge. JAX District provides the physical framework for the Biennale."
Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale (third edition) opens January 30 and runs through May 2, 2026 at JAX District in Diriyah near At-Turaif in Riyadh. The Biennale is organized by the Diriyah Biennale Foundation and led by Co-Artistic Directors Nora Razian and Sabih Ahmed, with Sammy Zarka as Associate Architect and Formafantasma designing scenography. The exhibition presents over 65 artists from more than 37 countries, including over 25 newly commissioned works. Thematic focus on movement, continuity, and transformation links migration and exchange across the Arab region and beyond. JAX’s rehabilitated industrial warehouses enable adaptive reuse and diverse spatial encounters.
