Islamic Arts Biennale 2025

The 2025 Islamic Arts Biennale, titled And All That Is In Between, displays over 500 historical objects and 29 contemporary art commissions—more than double the content of the inaugural edition. Taking place under SOM’s Hajj Terminal canopy at Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport, the exhibition is divided into seven components that include indoor and outdoor areas: AlBidayah (“the Beginning”), AlMadar (“the Orbit”), AlMuqtani (“Homage”), AlMidhallah (“the Canopy”), AlMukarramah (“the Honored”), AlMunawwarah (“the Illuminated”), and AlMusalla, a space for prayer and gathering.
