BMS Warehouse
A trading warehouse turned Biennale space, on labour and memory.
Event venue
A warehouse on Bazaar Road in Mattancherry, one of the former trading buildings now used by the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. During the 2025–26 edition, the space held work about labour, migration, memory, ecology, caste, queer belonging, and the lives carried by ordinary materials. Its changing exhibitions make the old commercial building part of the experience, but the Biennale programme is seasonal, so check current listings before visiting.
