The sixth Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB) is set to start on December 12, 2025. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will officially open it. For the next 110 days, art lovers can explore works across venues in Mattancherry, Fort Kochi, Willingdon Island, and Ernakulam. Sixty-six artists from 25 countries are part of this grand show. Curator Nikhil Chopra took visitors on a preview walk at the Coir Godown and the Bungalow in Aspinwall House. He shared vivid descriptions, bringing art to life. The theme for this edition is 'For the Time Being.' The Coir Godown features artists like Dhiraj Rabha, Kirtika Kain, and Biraaj Dodiya, among others. Visitors were encouraged to experience art with all senses: "smell with your eyes, taste with your fingertips, hear with your nose," said Chopra. Mario D’Souza, KMB's director of programmes, spoke about the "friendship economy"—artist collaboration and shared resources. Some artworks are complete, while others are still being finished. The Panjeri Artists Union from West Bengal is adding final touches to a large, community-led piece that addresses themes like persecution and climate displacement. At the nearby Bungalow, works by Abul Hisham, Sheba Chhachhi, and others were introduced. Chopra highlighted a favorite piece called Barakah, a thatched structure made with local wood and rope. It offers visitors a place to eat and relax, serving Kerala-style lunch via Kudumbashree. Unfortunately, Pakistani artists Huma Mulji and Bani Abidi could not attend. The walkthrough ended at the Bungalow, marking a colorful start to the Biennale.
