Biennale of Sydney

Paula Abood

Dr Paula Abood has worked at the intersections of education, community work and the arts with refugee and immigrant communities for over three decades. She has produced and published across platforms and art forms, co-creating with communities in ways that honour translingual expression and diasporic cultural practice. In her cultural work with people forcibly displaced from their homelands, she has convened creative spaces to support both individual and community recovery through art making. In 2013, Paula received Creative Australia’s Ros Bower Award for lifetime achievement in community arts and cultural development, and in 2018, she was awarded a Creative Australia Fellowship.

Public Program

School programs

Education programs at the 25th Biennale of Sydney, Rememory, engage with current thinking in contemporary art practice to promote and stimulate a deeper understanding of biennials and the work of artists.

Family Days

Family Days at the 25th Biennale of Sydney are a celebration of creativity, colour, and connection! Designed for kids (and kids at heart), these lively days invite families to explore, play, and make art together. Expect hands-on workshops, performances, and activities bursting with energy, music, and laughter, all curated by community-led organisations who bring their unique perspectives and local spirit to the program.
