36th São Paulo Biennial Critiqued for Lack of Context and Confusing Presentation

The 36th São Paulo Biennial, titled "Where There Is Fear, There Is Strength," has opened with criticism regarding its lack of contextual clarity. Nádia Taquary presents a body of work at Sesc Belenzinho as part of the exhibition. The biennial's theme explores humanity as a practice and aims to make space for alternative histories through cross-pollination of ideas. However, the presentation has been described as whispering rather than speaking clearly, leaving some visitors confused by the absence of explanatory frameworks. The event continues to generate discussion about its curatorial approach and accessibility.
