Sonic Acts Biennial: "Gesture and Screech"

The Sonic Acts Biennial, taking place 5 February – 29 March 2026 in Amsterdam, unfolds across multiple venues (OCCII a.o.) and curatorial frameworks. At its centre is the Biennial’s main exhibition Melted for Love, spanning W139, Arti et Amicitiae, and Rozenstraat, accompanied by a satellite exhibition at Het Documentaire Paviljoen / IDFA Institute and a special collaboration with Framer Framed. Alongside the exhibition programme, the Biennial will host an extensive programme of film screenings, artist talks and exhibition tours. Among additions to the Biennial’s live concerts, at OCCII, the high-octane concert night Gesture and Screech brings together Jiyoung Wi, Tzu Ni, Finlay Shakespeare, Roc Jiménez de Cisneros, Scott Gordon, and Petronn Sphene.
