Cicada & Biennale of Sydney Launch Eco Materials Challenge

Cicada & Biennale of Sydney Launch Eco Materials Challenge

  • 23rd Biennale of Sydney (2022): Will be presented free of charge from 12 March to 13 June 2022.

Cicada Innovations is a Sydney-based incubator providing full-lifecycle support for Australia’s most ambitious deep tech ventures so they can discover solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems.

It supports a community of innovators and high-growth emerging deep tech companies, who are building the industries and jobs of the future, by providing investment; commercialisation and acceleration programs; rich research partnerships; networks of domain experts; and specialist deep tech infrastructure through its four top Australian university shareholders, ANU, USYD, UNSW, and UTS.

Since launching in 2000, Cicada has assisted 300+ companies raise $730m+ in venture capital and government grants, file 500+ patents and trademarks, and bring 700+ deep technology innovations to market globally. It has been awarded “Top Incubator in the World” twice by the international peak body for business incubation and entrepreneurship, the International Business Innovation Association (InBIA).

The Biennale of Sydney is one of the leading international contemporary art events. It plays an indispensable role in Australia’s engagement with the world, and a meaningful role in the life of the nation. For almost 50 years, the Biennale has been a unifying force in the Australian arts sector, embedding boldly creative art exhibitions and experiences in the everyday life of the city and putting the artistic excellence of NSW front and centre on the world stage.

Led by Colombian curator José Roca, Artistic Director of the 23rd Biennale of Sydney, and a Curatorium of highly respected local curators, the 23rd Biennale of Sydney (2022) will focus on waterways and weaving, representing historic and contemporary forms of community entanglement. Throughout history, rivers have been a source of both life and communication; they are the sediment of culture, while weaving is a manifestation of material culture present in all societies. The artworks will have a strong focus on sustainability, collaboration, ancestral technologies and sustainable methods of co-existence.
