Primavera 2026 artists announced: Introducing the next generation of Australian artistic talent | MCA Australia

The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) has announced the six artists selected for its prestigious Primavera 2026 exhibition, a key annual showcase dedicated to emerging Australian artists aged 35 and under. The selected cohort includes Khadim Ali, Moorina Bonini, Dennis Golding, Jazz Money, Kate ten Buuren, and Constantina, whose practices span painting, sculpture, video, installation, and digital media, reflecting a diverse and interdisciplinary approach to contemporary art.

The exhibition, curated by MCA Curator Katharine McVeigh, aims to highlight critical themes in the current artistic landscape, such as cultural identity, colonial legacies, environmental concerns, and technological mediation. Primavera, established in 1992, serves as a vital platform for early-career artists, offering significant exposure and contributing to the development of their professional trajectories within the national and international art scene.
