"Exploring the Highlights and Lowlights of the Venice Biennale 2024"

The Venice Biennale, the world's longest-running contemporary art festival, opened with a preview showcasing highlights such as a sonorous symphony made by fruit and a modern-day Tintoretto. This year's edition, "Foreigners Everywhere," curated by Adriano Pedrosa, features valuable displays of lesser-known Brazilian artists and a historical section of older painting and sculpture from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. Despite a hectic opening with a severe rainstorm and a pro-Palestinian protest, the Biennale continues to attract massive crowds and offers a principal exhibition of hundreds of artists chosen by a single curator.

The show features 331 artists, most from the Global South, with a focus on contemporary and 20th-century art, including many unfamiliar names.
