Students from MSUB had been planning to attend the 22nd Sydney Biennale in Sydney, Australia in May 2020. When the trip was cancelled due to the COVID-19 situation, students and faculty continued to explore the artists, works, and concepts of the Biennale. 

The title and theme of the Biennale was NIRIN, meaning "edge" in the language of the Wiradjuri People of western North South Wales--an aboriginal Australian tribe present today.

This group exhibition offers students' creative responses to Australia's history, to the stories of its aboriginal peoples, and to the artworks of this global exhibition. Each artist offers reflections on contemporary experience from newly discovered perspectives.
