BVenice yen, the oldest exhibition of its kind, returns in 2022 for its 59ª edition – after a year of delay due to health restrictions imposed by the pandemic – starting on April 23 and ending on November 27. On account of the delay, in fact, it will coincide with Documenta, the five-year event in Kassel, Germany.

This Wednesday, February 2nd, the organization of the event released the names of the 213 participants from 58 countries. Nations such as Cameroon, Namibia, Nepal, Oman and Uganda will be represented for the first time at the event, which is already considered the most internationally diverse. Among the selected artists are five Brazilians: Lenora de Barros, Luiz Roque, Rosana Paulino, Solange Pessoa and Jaider Esbell, who died recently.

titled The Milk of Dreams, the main exhibition at the Venice Biennale is in charge of Cecilia Alemani, director and chief curator of New York's High Line Art. This title is a reference to a series of drawings that were later turned into a children's book by surrealist artist Leonora Carrington. According to Alemani, the show will focus on three distinct areas: “The representation of bodies and their metamorphoses; the relationship between individuals and technologies; the connection between bodies and the Earth”. Although it is focused on young artists not yet fully recognized by the circuit, the Bienal will also feature five “time capsules” of renowned figures, who will present unprecedented and historical works, borrowed from museums and collections, installed together with the contemporary works of the show. .

Unprecedented for the 2022 edition, it is also the first “College Arte” in the history of the Bienal, which now flanks those dedicated to cinema, dance, theater and music. The artistic projects of Simnikiwe Buhlungu, Ambra Castagnetti, Andro Eradze and Kudzanai-Violet Hwami will be financed by the initiative. The four artists will receive a grant of 25 thousand euros for the realization of their final work and the works will be presented at the Bienal out of competition. More than 250 young emerging artists under the age of 30 joined the call to participate, most of them women.
