Venice Biennale 2025 Shifts Focus to Marginalized Voices

The 61st Venice Biennale, curated by Cameroonian-born Koyo Kouoh (who died in 2025), deliberately avoids market-driven stars and instead amplifies narratives from the margins. The exhibition prioritizes listening to discreet voices over spectacle, marking a significant curatorial shift. Kouoh's vision, realized posthumously, emphasizes underrepresented stories and challenges the art world's commercial focus. The Biennale runs in Venice, Italy, in 2025.
