At Venice Biennale 2026, the Legacy of Koyo Kouoh Is Everywhere
The 2026 Venice Biennale, themed "In Minor Keys" by the late Cameroonian-Swiss curator Koyo Kouoh, features a record fourteen African national pavilions—including first-time participants like Somalia and Tanzania—spread across the city. The exhibition was completed by "Koyo's Team" after Kouoh's death in 2025, with curator Rory Tsapayi emphasizing a sensory, non-didactic approach that decenters traditional power structures.
