The 2024 Canberra Art Biennial (CAB) returns in its fifth iteration as a month-long festival kicking off on 27 September with a series of exhibitions, live performances and installations. The event has a particular public art focus, activating spaces in Canberra previously not utilised.

The range of artworks on display vary from Emma Buswell’s tote bag with the statement of a resigned politician to Nell’s ghost bloom dangling on a withered branch.
