Looking for a weekend outing that the whole family can enjoy? The Ekya Children’s Biennale 2026 brings together children’s creativity, imagination and art across Bengaluru. India’s First Children’s Biennale in Namma Bengaluru is an opportunity to experience art through the eyes of children.
This isn’t just about walking around and looking at artwork. The Children’s Biennale invites visitors to experience creative installations, performances and interactive experiences created from a child’s perspective. It is a chance for children and families to explore new ideas, ask questions and see what happens when imagination takes the lead.
The first weekend of the Children’s Biennale takes place across three Bengaluru campuses, with more experiences continuing in September and October.
Why go? To see what happens when children’s imagination becomes a way to explore the world, the future and the possibilities around us.
7 Futures. Infinite Possibilities.
Explore seven worlds imagined through children’s perspectives: Nature, Machines, Memory, Cities, Ritual & Culture, Play and Connection.
Come see what the future feels like.
