An artistic duo whose works featured a Hezbollah leader in a glorifying light will represent Australia on the global stage despite being banned earlier in the year.

Khaled Sabsabi and Michael Dagostino had been selected by Creative Australia to represent Australia at the 2026 Venice Biennale, a major international art exhibition showcasing creative works from around the world.
