Discover our visit to the "Venice Biennale 2024: Stranieri Ovunque," one of the world's most prestigious art exhibitions. This year's theme, "Foreigners Everywhere" ("Stranieri Ovunque"), curated by Adriano Pedrosa, the first Latin American curator in the Biennale's history, emphasizes works exploring migration, cultural exchange, and identity.
The exhibition stands out for its diversity and inclusivity, featuring artists who delve into various aspects of life and culture, including queer and non-traditional orientations. It creates a platform for discussing a broad range of social belonging and individuality topics.
The exhibition is divided into two main sections:
Contemporary Core: Showcasing contemporary artists often confronting migration and cultural exchange.
Historical Core: Presenting 20th-century artworks from Latin America, Africa, the Arab world, and Asia.
Many pieces explore themes of intimate life, cultural rituals, and social justice. For instance, American artist Louis Fratino and Indian artist Bhupen Khakhar examine intimate aspects of life and cultural interactions. Additionally, black-and-white photographs depict significant social spaces and events.
The Biennale focuses on the intersection of various identities and social contexts, helping visitors understand and appreciate the diversity of global cultures and experiences.
