The Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh has announced the artist list for its 2026 Carnegie International exhibition. The largest edition to date features 61 artists from around the world, including the Indigenous Argentinian collective Silät, Indian artist Sanchayan Ghosh, and Peruvian painter Arturo Kameya. The show, titled "If the word we," will open on May 2 and includes 36 new commissions, organized by curators Ryan Inouye, Liz Park, and Danielle A. Jackson.
The exhibition is the oldest biennial-style show in the United States and is historically significant for introducing international artists to American audiences. This edition continues a recent shift toward highlighting artists from the Global South and will expand beyond the museum's walls to include partner venues like the Kamin Science Center and the Mattress Factory, emphasizing a curatorial focus on multiplicity and global contemporary art worlds.
