Title: A Fresh Look at the Venice Biennale: What Art Is Telling Us About the World
Abstract: Join Dina for a relaxed, behind-the-scenes look at the Venice Biennale, one of the world’s most exciting (and sometimes surprising) contemporary art events. I’ll be sharing impressions straight from my recent visit, including the buzz of the opening week, the artworks everyone is talking about, and a few unexpected moments along the way.
Together, we’ll explore what artists from around the world are responding to right now, and how their work connects to the big questions shaping our lives today. From Aotearoa New Zealand’s presentation by Fiona Pardington to standout international works, this session is all about making contemporary art feel approachable, engaging, and relevant.
Date:
Monday 29 June
This session will run from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm and include a tea / coffee break.
