Adriano Pedrosa's 'Foreigners Everywhere' at 60th Venice Biennale Examines Migration and Marginalization

The 60th Venice Biennale showcases Adriano Pedrosa's exhibition 'Foreigners Everywhere,' which delves into themes of migration, marginalization, and identity through a variety of artistic perspectives. As the inaugural South American curator, Pedrosa presents both contemporary pieces and historical segments known as 'Nucleo Storico,' emphasizing global modernisms. Featured artists include those from the Global South, Indigenous groups, queer individuals, and outsider creators, exhibited in the International Pavilion and the Arsenale. Key video installations consist of Marco Scotini's 'Disobedience Archive,' Charmaine Poh's portrayal of lesbian couples, Fred Kuwornu's 'We Were Here,' and Bouchra Khalili's 'The Mapping Journey Project.' The Biennale is scheduled from 20 April to 24 November 2024, amid political tensions involving Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Tunisian President Kais Saied.
