Bangkok Art Biennale 2026 call for Southeast Asian performance artists

The Bangkok Art Biennale (BAB) is calling for applications from Performance Artists to participate in its 5th edition, Angels & Mara, taking place across Bangkok from 29 October 2026 – 28 February 2027.

Since its inception in 2018, BAB has welcomed over 300 artists from around the world, reaching over 5 million visitors and gaining global press recognition. The 2026 edition continues this legacy, transforming Bangkok’s temples, museums, cultural landmarks, and public spaces into living stages for contemporary art.

Eligibility

BAB invites proposals from Southeast Asian performance artists working in performance art, dance, movement, theatre, spoken word, music, sound, and cross-disciplinary live practices. Projects should respond to the festival theme, Angels & Mara, and be designed to engage with Bangkok’s vibrant urban and spiritual landscape.

Support

Selected artists will receive curatorial and technical support, performance documentation, and international exposure through BAB’s platforms.
