La Biennale di Venezia on the situation in Ukraine

La Biennale di Venezia, a place where all peoples meet in art and culture, stands by all those who are suffering as a result of the Russian attack on Ukraine.

We invoke peace and firmly reject all forms of warfare and violence, confirming that La Biennale remains a place of dialogue between institutions, artists and citizens of every country, language, ethnicity and religion.

We express the hope that international diplomacy will find the strength to pursue a shared peaceful solution in the shortest time possible.

Towards this end, we confirm that the 59th International Art Exhibition will open on April 23, 2022.
