The 60th Venice Biennale, titled Foreigners Everywhere, opened on April 20th at Giardini and Arsenale, curated by Adriano Pedrosa. The Biennale focuses on artists who have never participated before, with a Nucleo Storico showcasing works from the 20th century from the Global South. This offers insight into the dynamic exchange between foreign artists arriving in Europe and the emergence of a new kind of Modernism. The exhibition challenges dominant narratives and includes diverse voices, with a significant presence of deceased artists. The Brazilian Pavilion, renamed the Hãhãwpuá Pavilion, highlights Indigenous resistance and features works emphasizing territorial rights and resilience. Dalton Paula’s “Full Body Portraits” series explores Afro-Brazilian history and resistance, while Sonia Gomes presents an installation questioning voyeuristic desires. Established artists like Beatriz Milhazes and Anna Maria Maiolino also contribute to the exhibition, showcasing their enduring impact on contemporary art.
