Kochi-Muziris Biennale is back – and with it, Kochi transforms into one of the world's most exciting stages for contemporary art.

From December 12, 2025, to March 31, 2026, the festival returns with the theme For the Time Being, curated by Nikhil Chopra and HH Art Spaces. Spanning four months, this historic port town will become a living, breathing museum - where warehouses, spice markets, and coastal streets pulse with installations, performances, and conversations that connect the local to the global.
