DIRIYAH — The third edition of the Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale opened to the public on Friday at the JAX District in Diriyah, running through May 2 and bringing together more than 65 artists from over 37 countries.Titled "In Interludes and Transitions", the Biennale is organized by the Diriyah Biennale Foundation and led by co-artistic directors Nora Razian and Sabih Ahmed. **media[2655013]** The exhibition takes place in Diriyah’s creative JAX District, near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of At-Turaif.The 2026 edition features more than 25 newly commissioned works and presents a wide range of artistic practices that explore themes of movement, migration, memory and transformation.The curatorial framework draws on the idea of interludes as moments of passage, where histories, geographies and cultures intersect through sound, storytelling, performance and visual expression. **media[2655011]** The exhibition design, developed by international design studio Formafantasma, reconfigures the district’s industrial architecture into a flowing, immersive environment.Visitors move through curved passages, open courtyards and terraces across nearly 12,900 square meters of exhibition space.Musicality and oral traditions are central to this edition, highlighting the role of sound and aural knowledge in transmitting social histories across the Arab region and beyond.Among the major commissions is Folding the Tents (2026), a procession by Saudi artist Mohammed Alhamdan, known as 7amdan, which moves through Wadi Hanifah and the JAX District and culminates in a live performance by the Miniawy Trio. **media[2655010]** Aya Al-Bakree, CEO of the Diriyah Biennale Foundation, said the exhibition reflects the foundation’s mission to platform artists, foster cultural exchange and support creative communities.She noted that the 2026 edition marks the foundation’s fifth biennale since its launch. **media[2655012]** Razian and Ahmed said the Biennale invites audiences to experience art as a process shaped by movement rather than permanence, reflecting a world defined by overlapping routes, rhythms and relationships.
