There are 99 National Participations and 31 Collateral Events in the 61st International Art Exhibition by Koyo Kouoh.
The 61st International Art Exhibition – In Minor Keys by Koyo Kouoh – organised by La Biennale di Venezia, will be accompanied by 99 National Participations and 31 Collateral Events.
Seven countries are participating in Biennale Arte for the first time: the Republic of Guinea, the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, the Republic of Nauru, Qatar, the Republic of Sierra Leone, Federal Republic of Somalia, and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam. El Salvador is participating for the first time with its own pavilion.
La Biennale di Venezia is an open institution, as reflected in the National Participations which arise from spontaneous initiatives. Any country recognized by the Italian Republic may ask independently to participate. It can simply send a notification if it owns a Pavilion in the Giardini, or submit a letter from the competent government authority if it does not have its own permanent Pavilion. It should also be noted that countries not recognized by the Italian Republic have, over the years, found ways to participate and express themselves within the framework of the Collateral Events.
In response to the communications and requests for participation from Countries, La Biennale di Venezia rejects any form of exclusion or censorship of culture and art. La Biennale, like the city of Venice, continues to be a place of dialogue, openness, and artistic freedom, encouraging connections between peoples and cultures, with enduring hope for the cessation of conflicts and suffering.
