digital · 2026-04-27

The 17th International Architecture Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia, directed by Hashim Sarkis, will run from May 22 to November 21, 2021. To kick things off, they've launched a digital project called Biennale Architettura Sneak Peek, which will offer daily updates on their website and social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Plus, there’s a Spotify playlist featuring songs chosen by the participants, acting as the exhibition's soundtrack. Sarkis has proposed five thought-provoking questions tied to the exhibition’s themes. A podcast series will also begin with an episode titled "Between MOSE and Tiepolo," set to release on November 16. This initiative aims to build anticipation for the postponed in-person event due to COVID-19.
