2026 biennale of contemporary keramics

The Biennale of Contemporary Keramics (BCK) is delighted to announce the team of curators for its second edition, taking place on the island of Rhodes from June to October 2026 under the title “Where the Day Starts.”

The Biennale of Contemporary Keramics (BCK) will bring together contemporary artists from the Mediterranean who either live in one of the countries of the basin or have a meaningful connection to the region. Dedicated to promoting contemporary ceramics as an evolving art form, the Biennale moves nomadically across Greek islands, drawing inspiration from each location’s distinct history, archaeology, mythology, and culture.

The biennale’s title, “Where the Day Starts” is not only a reference to the island’s mythic dawn but also a call to new beginnings; igniting artistic exploration, catalyzing dialogue, and challenging participants to reimagine the Mediterranean’s shared heritage and ever-evolving identities in the light of today.
