Sonsbeek 2026 has announced the 18 artists and collectives who will participate in its thirteenth edition, scheduled from July 2 to October 11, 2026, in Arnhem, Netherlands. The event, curated by Amira Gad and Christina Li with assistant curator Berber Meindertsma, will feature 12 new commissions across Park Sonsbeek and various city locations, presenting site-specific installations, sculptures, and performances.
The edition's theme, "Memory as Living Action," positions memory as a dynamic and generative force in the face of global conflict and crisis. By engaging with Arnhem's layered history—a city still marked by the traces of war—the exhibition seeks to explore how we live with the past, focusing on the interplay between forgetting and remembering, loss and preservation, to shape future possibilities.
