Melted for Love – Comprehensive Exhibition Tour

Join our guided tour across all three of the core exhibition venues of Sonic Acts Biennial 2026, beginning at W139 and continuing to Arti et Amicitiae, and Rozenstraat – each only a short walk apart. Taking place during the Festival Weekend, this is the best way to experience the full exhibition constellation in a single flow. Open to all audiences, the tour is for those who wish to spend time with the works in depth: visitors seeking context, conversation, and the pleasure of thinking together rather than alone. Students, artists, researchers, press, neighbours and curious participants are all welcome.

Led by Angeliki Tzortzakaki, curator of the Biennial’s three-venue exhibition, the tour unfolds the central concerns of the Biennale’s theme Melted for Love: how belonging, care, and relation endure amidst climate catastrophe, colonial violence, and displacement. As the tour moves between venues, visitors encounter installations, films, sound works, and performance-based pieces that venerate the pressures placed on bodies, lands, and more-than-human worlds. 

Along the way, visitors come across radiophonic experiments speculating on future uses of a lighthouse; reactivated colonial archives; underwater and underground stories of extraction; trembling river systems marked by forced displacement; textile lineages shaped by resistance; and collaborations with bats, mangroves, and ancient forests. These works ground the tour’s guiding questions: How do ecosystems absorb the weight of extractive histories? What forms of solidarity surface in moments of rupture? And where, amid grief and ongoing struggle, do gestures of love continue to take shape?
