Kazakhstan presents its third national pavilion at the Venice Biennale, titled 'Qoñyr Äulie: Immersion into Quiet Depths' by artist Ardak Mukanova. The exhibition, called 'Qoñyr: the Archive of Silence,' is housed at the Museo Storico Navale near the Arsenale entrance and transforms silence into a sensory landscape.
This participation marks Kazakhstan's continued presence at one of the world's most prestigious art events, the Venice Biennale, highlighting the country's growing engagement with the global contemporary art scene. By centering on silence and sensory experience, the pavilion offers a distinctive counterpoint to the often visually overwhelming biennale, inviting deeper reflection on perception and environment.
