Bangkok Art Biennale 2026: Angels & Mara

TBA

October 2026 - February 2027

​

​“Angels and Mara”, the theme of Bangkok Art Biennale (BAB 2026), explores dialectical opposites between goodness and the undesirable. Angels are divine messengers across religions, while fallen angels embody corruption and sin. Mara symbolizes death and darker human nature, a demon of obstacles to peace and enlightenment. Set in Bangkok, the City of Angels, BAB 2026 becomes the arena for artists local and afar to reflect on a suffering world shaped by battle cries, terrorism, environmental detriment, corruption and political schism.
