La Biennale di Venezia: Our World Through Art

Take a four-part deep dive into the largest and most established international art event in the world. The 59th Venice Biennale, opened this April after being postponed due to the pandemic from its original date in 2021. This is the second time since its inauguration in 1894 that the biennale was postponed due to a world crisis. The first instance was WWII, which pushed the 24th Biennale to 1948. This series will take us on a fascinating journey connecting art, world politics, economy, and gender – including sessions devoted to the American and Israeli pavilions specifically. Each session is a stand-alone, but you are invited for the full ride to fully grasp the magnitude and beauty of this truly amazing world art event.
