In its inaugural edition (23 January–23 April 2023) the Islamic Arts Biennale brings together centuries of faith and artistic expression. The Biennale is organised around two main themes: Qiblah/Sacred Direction and Hijrah/Migration, juxtaposing contemporary art and historical artefacts to explore the timeless rituals that have defined Islam from its beginning through to the present day.
