We are delighted to share the news that Wardha Shabbir has been invited to participate in the 2026 Venice Biennale.

The 61st International Art Exhibition titled ‘In Minor Keys’ takes place from 9 May to 22 November 2026.

Curator Koyo Kouoh selected artists to envision how their ingenuity, breadth of material experimentation, and visionary ideas bear connections to other artists and movements in simultaneity. In this spirit, ‘In Minor Keys’ expands upon Koyo’s relational geography of encounters with artists over her lifetime.

Huge congratulations to Warhda for this fantastic accolade, it’s extremely well deserved. We’ve been fortunate to work with her since 2017, and this is just reward for her dedication and commitment to her practice 🇮🇹
