Taiwanese artist En-Man Chang has been invited to participate in the 25th Biennale of Sydney, taking place from March 14 to June 14, 2026. Her presentation continues her sustained inquiry into colonial history, memory, migration, and Indigenous cultural regeneration. 

Curated by Hoor Al-Qasimi, the 25th Biennale of Sydney is titled Rememory, a theme that points to the revisiting, reconstruction, and reclaiming of histories that have been erased, suppressed, or forgotten. Through this curatorial framework, the Biennale understands memory as an ongoing cultural act, while considering how art can reopen the complex relationships carried by colonial history, local narratives, and lived experience. 

Born in Taitung and currently based in Taipei, En-Man Chang works across moving image, photography, installation, and collaborative practice. As an artist of mixed Indigenous heritage, Chang’s practice is rooted in her lived experience and cultural inheritance, and has long examined how Indigenous peoples in Taiwan negotiate shifting sociocultural landscapes and living conditions under modernization and urbanization. By excavating lost histories and narratives, she reconsiders the connections between personal experience, collective memory, and the wider world, while demonstrating the transformative potential of art. 

For the 25th Biennale of Sydney, Chang’s presentation continues the trajectory of her Snail Paradise series. Through moving image and installation, the work explores shared colonial experiences between Australia and Taiwan, as well as the possibility of Indigenous cultural regeneration after historical rupture. Interweaving personal memory, transregional migration, and ecological narratives, the work responds to the Biennale’s theme of Rememory and its questions of historical revisitation and cultural regeneration. 

The participation of Taiwanese artists in this edition is commissioned by the Biennale of Sydney and supported by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Sydney. With support from Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Sydney has collaborated with the Biennale of Sydney to support the participation of four Taiwanese artists in this edition, presenting cultural narratives and historical reflections from Taiwan’s contemporary art in an international context. Through this presentation, Chang’s practice further brings the relationships between Taiwanese Indigenous culture, colonial memory, and contemporary artistic practice into broader international dialogue.
