exhibition · 2026-04-27

At the 59th Venice Biennale, titled 'The Milk of Dreams' and curated by Cecilia Alemani, the Brazil and Georgia Pavilions tackle pressing contemporary issues. Brazil's exhibit, 'Com o coração saindo pela boca,' curated by Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, explores Brazilian cultural narratives through expressions related to the human body, showcasing photographs, sculptures, and a video installation, including a striking 45-meter fiberglass figure named Eva. Meanwhile, Georgia features 'I Pity the Garden – Mi fa pena il giardino' by Mariam Natroshvili and Detu Jincharadze, drawing inspiration from Forugh Farrokhzad's poetry to delve into themes of memory and everyday existence through a video and immersive VR experience. The Biennale is open from April 23 to November 27, 2022.
