Venice Biennale Showcases Global Art Talent with Koyo Kouoh's Curated Edition

Published on 5.29.25

  The Venice Biennale has long been a premier platform for international art exhibitions, showcasing the work of artists from around the world. This year's edition, curated by Koyo Kouoh, promises to be no exception, with several countries already announcing their national pavilion artists. Germany has selected Henrike Naumann and Sung Tieu, while France will feature Yto Barrada, and Great Britain has chosen Lubaina Himid. The selection of these artists reflects the Biennale's focus on foreign artists, including refugees, émigrés, and members of a diaspora, who will bring their unique experiences and perspectives to the exhibition. Henrike Naumann's work often explores themes of identity and belonging, while Sung Tieu's practice delves into the complexities of migration and displacement. Yto Barrada's photography has been praised for its nuanced portrayal of life in Morocco, and Lubaina Himid's large-scale installations have tackled issues of colonialism and representation. The inclusion of these artists will undoubtedly add depth and diversity to the Biennale. The Venice Biennale's emphasis on international artists and perspectives is a testament to its commitment to showcasing the global art world. With the details of the exhibition set to be announced on February 25, 2026, art enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an exciting and thought-provoking event.
