Koyo Kouoh's 'In Minor Keys' Evokes Collective Experience at Venice Biennale

In the Giardini section of the Venice Biennale, the late curator Koyo Kouoh's central exhibition, titled 'In Minor Keys,' focuses on collective experience through objects that capture everyday life. The display emphasizes humanity rather than individual humans, using mundane artifacts to create powerful emotional resonance. Kouoh, who passed away before the Biennale, curated this segment as part of the larger exhibition. The work calls attention to shared human experiences, with objects serving as conduits for communal memory and feeling.
