APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR THE BIENNALE OF CONTEMPORARY KERAMICS

The Biennale of Contemporary Keramics (BCK) will take place on the island of Rhodes from June to October 2026 under the title “Where the Day Starts.” Applications for the biennial will be accepted until January 10.

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 curatorial team for the second edition of the biennial has also been announced. Anissa Touati, Stamatia Dimitrakopoulos and Loukia Thomopoulou said: “As curators, we see the Biennale and the Island of Rhodes as a meeting point where the Mediterranean’s diverse histories, traditions and futures come together. Ceramic techniques have crossed shores for centuries, evolving through migration, trade, and dialogue. Today, artists reinterpret these age-old methods to address current questions and create new connections. We aim to highlight both the ancient bonds and contemporary narratives that shape the region, opening space for new perspectives on the Mediterranean’s future.”
