One of the grandest stops on the art world’s Grand Tour, the Venice Biennale could be thought of as a World Cup for art. Sure, it lacks the fanaticism of FIFA’s premier event, but the Biennale is arguably the planet’s biggest stage for visual artists, offering its own spectacle.
From Estonia to Nigeria, there is a strong selection of national pavilions showing female artists at the 57th Venice Biennale—featuring live animals, conflicted patriotism and moments in the dark. Of course, politics is the order of the day.
Department of Arts and Culture proudly supports South African artists Candice Breitz and Mohau Modisakeng as they represent South Africa at the world’s most prestigious contemporary art event.
Two separate works by Candice and Modisakeng come together in one of the most powerful installations to address forced migration at the Biennale, where it’s a frequent theme.
