“As a distinguished contemporary artist, Khaled is a Biennale of Sydney alumni and has exhibited in the Biennale on two occasions, showcasing his work at the 21st Biennale of Sydney (2018) and the 18th Biennale of Sydney (2012). We are thrilled to welcome Khaled Sabsabi to Biennale of Sydney’s Board of Directors.’

We look forward to strengthening our relationship with the Biennale of Sydney as Khaled commences his new role with our established exhibition partner.’

Khaled Sabsabi said: ‘As an artist and cultural practitioner, I make work that is in continual transfer from the local to the global with a devotion to social and cultural inclusiveness and access. As a member of the Biennale Board, I look forward to strengthening the Biennale’s engagement with audiences and artists in wider Sydney, Australia and abroad. I am excited to be working with an organisation that is deeply committed to ensuring the most dynamic contemporary art from Australia and around the world is accessible to all, and I am keen to share my experience and to advocate for the many voices of artists.’
