Recent exhibitions include those at HEK Basel, Gropius Bau Berlin, SCAD Museum of Art , Gallery Krinzinger Vienna, Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, CCBB Rio de Janeiro, and Sundance Film Festival, among others.

Using a range of mediums, including animation, video, virtual reality, found footage, and drawing, Bianca Kennedy explores everyday relationships and routines, reflecting on human behaviour, social norms, and expectations. In recent years, Kennedy’s artistic focus has been on physical withdrawal, creating a series that examines the theatrics of bathing and the cultural coding of the unprotected, naked body. Through her works, she uncovers conflicts that exist within power dynamics and identity politics, and how they intersect within categories such as class, gender, privacy, and public space. Currently, Kennedy’s work is centred around personal protest, featuring individuals who have grown disillusioned with the world and turned their anger inward.
