Community Kitchen | SANCTUARY 25, Fremantle Biennale

22 October 2025
The Fremantle Biennale is held every two years in the Nyoongar season of Kambarang (November). The next Fremantle Biennale, titled SANCTUARY 25 will take place from 13–30 November 2025.

A space for food, story and gathering. Designed by architects Officer Woods, our ocean-facing kitchen hosts takeovers, talks and workshops from our favourite chefs, food-makers and community groups.
