Ford Foundation: Curating change: How BIPOC-led arts organizations are reshaping the future of art
The Venice Biennale is one of the most significant exhibitions in the contemporary art world: a revered showcase of international artists representing their home countries and vying for glory. Founded in 1895, it is one of art’s oldest and most celebrated stages, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors. And this April, when the 60th annual Biennale opens, it will make history anew: The United States’ pavilion will feature the multimedia artist Jeffrey Gibson, making him the first Indigenous artist to represent the U.S. with a solo show.
