Khaled Sabsabi

About

Khaled Sabsabi is a Lebanese-born Australian artist based in Sydney, especially known for his video installations. His work, executed in many different media, often incorporates themes of Islam and Arab identity in Australia, along with exploration of spirituality and multiculturalism, and has been exhibited nationally and internationally since 1999. He is known for his multimedia and site-specific installations. He came to wider public notice in February 2025 after being selected, along with curator Michael Dagostino, to represent Australia in the Australian pavilion at the 2025 Venice Biennale, before the decision was rescinded by Creative Australia around a week later, causing a large backlash that has been widely covered by news media.
