International curator, Hoor Al Qasimi, the youngest daughter of the Sultan of Sharjah, is to lead the artistic direction of the next Biennale of Sydney.

A senior royal from the United Arab Emirates and a leading international curator in her own right will direct the next Biennale of Sydney.

“At the end of the day, my father is an academic and a historian, and he got his position because his brother was assassinated. It was not the role he was hoping for.”Al Qasimi will curate the 26th edition of the Biennale of Sydney in 2026, her appointment to be officially confirmed on Thursday, weeks before the current biennale anchored in White Bay Power Station wraps up on June 10.Al Qasimi has visited every iteration of the Biennale of Sydney for the past ten years.

Her commitment to engage with diverse voices and local communities aligned “seamlessly with our mission to create a platform where art brings people together to connect and learn from each other in meaningful ways,” Moore said. “These wars are created to divide people and create hatred among people and I think what arts and culture can do is bring people closer together and give people the space to speak as well because through culture you see how similar people are. I think there is hope in the next generation.”
