Sabsabi and curator Michael Dagostino were selected based on the advice of a panel of independent industry advisors.
Sabsabi has a more than 30 year long artistic career and has exhibited nationally and internationally.
This move by Creative Australia’s board is unprecedented.

Just a week after announcing award-winning Lebanese Australian artist Khaled Sabsabi as Australia’s pick for the 2026 Venice Biennale, Creative Australia has capitulated to media and political pressure and dumped him.

Federal government should initiate a wholesale review of ABC governance, charter, complaints process, independence etc.
What’s been revealed in the past week is an indictment on basically every layer of management. And it’s only been revealed by this case. Imagine what we don’t know.

More jaw-dropping evidence today from former ABC Content boss Chris Oliver-Taylor. Apparently Nick Leys asked him an email exactly what policy Antoinette Lattouf had breached. Oliver-Taylor didn't email back. He still doesn't seem to be too clear on what she actually did wrong, even today.
