The 3rd edition of the Tel Aviv Biennale of Craft and Design returns in 2026 under the theme Works and Days, drawn from Hesiod’s ancient Greek epic poem. This timeless reference frames the concept of “work” in its broadest sense – not only as labor and craftsmanship, but also as action, agency and ethical responsibility – ideas that resonate deeply with our current reality.
Over 1,500 proposals were reviewed, and the selected projects span the full spectrum of craft media – ceramics, glass, textile, paper, fiber, metal, and jewelry – as well as a wide range of design disciplines including architecture, industrial design, visual communication, video and performative practices. The Biennale will showcase both emerging and established voices, drawing an up-to-date picture of the vibrant Israeli craft and design scene while also exploring new directions and challenges.
Many of the works present bold combinations of traditional techniques and cutting-edge technologies, alongside experimental and process-driven practices with particular focus on cultural heritage and environmental sustainability.
