Ceramics have been integral to daily life across the Mediterranean for millennia, at once utilitarian vessels and enduring expressions of cultural identity, ritual and exchange. This sense of deep continuity animates the Biennale of Contemporary Keramics (BCK), whose second edition, Where the Day Starts, takes place in Rhodes from 6 June to 31 October 2026. Curated by BCK founder and artistic director Loukia Thomopoulou, independent curator Stamatia Dimitrakopoulos and curator and researcher Anissa Touati, BCK 2026 builds on the inaugural edition held in Santorini in 2024 while establishing the Biennale’s nomadic character. Taking place every two years on a different Greek island, each edition is shaped by the landscape, histories and narratives of its host location. That idea runs through the exhibition, which frames the island as a point of emergence where histories, traditions and possible futures are reactivated under a shared Mediterranean light.
