From August 23 to October 19, 2025, the 11th biennale presents a curated Core Program featuring over 100 photographers from Australia and 20+ countries, including major solo exhibitions and group shows. Highlights include the world premiere of Catherine Leroy's "One-Way Ticket to Vietnam 1966-1968," the Australian exclusive "ENNINFUL x MAPPLETHORPE," and Campbell Addy's "I Love Campbell."
