Adriano Pedrosa, the curator for the 60th Venice Biennale, revealed the names of 333 artists and collectives who will take part in the exhibition titled 'Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere.' This edition, set for 2024, focuses on artists who have not previously been part of the International Exhibition, although some have participated in national pavilions or collateral events. The exhibition will take place in the Central Pavilion at the Giardini and the Arsenale, divided into two sections: Nucleo Contemporaneo and Nucleo Storico, the latter highlighting global modernisms and the Global South. The Biennale is scheduled from April 20 to November 24, 2024, with previews from April 17 to 19. Historical icons like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera will be featured alongside contemporary talents such as Yinka Shonibare and Bouchra Khalili. Beatriz Milhazes will represent the Applied Arts Pavilion out of competition.
