Bankstown Arts Centre asks artists to examine recent crises impacting us locally and globally, as an opportunity for transformative change.​​​

The Centre is bringing together artists to create work for the inaugural Bankstown Biennale which will take place in a variety of venues across Bankstown in October 2020. Overall the biennale examines the role of artists in facilitating individual, collective and civic responsibility for our planet’s sustainability.
