Biennale di Venezia 2024 edition. Foreigners Everywhere
The 60th iteration of the Biennale di Venezia 2024, curated by Brazilian curator Adriano Pedrosa, under the theme “Foreigners Everywhere,” promises to be a significant exploration of identity, migration, and the experiences of individuals from diverse and historically marginalized backgrounds. This theme is particularly timely and relevant as global migration continues to shape societies and cultures.
This theme – Foreigners Everywhere – addresses the complexities of belonging, displacement, and the multifaceted identities of individuals who navigate multiple cultures. It invites artists to reflect on their own experiences as “foreigners” and how these experiences influence their work and perspectives.
Adriano Pedrosa’s “Foreigners Everywhere” aims to not only showcase diverse artistic practices but also to provoke conversations around identity, migration, and the ways in which art can serve as a powerful tool for understanding and empathy. By emphasizing the voices of those often marginalized in the art world, the Biennale seeks to create a more inclusive narrative that reflects the rich tapestry of human experiences. This iteration of the Biennale could inspire audiences to rethink notions of belonging and the importance of diverse perspectives in shaping our understanding of contemporary society.
