La giuria della Biennale d’Arte di Venezia 2026 sarà tutta composta da donne
The organizing body of the Venice Biennale has announced the international jury for its 61st International Art Exhibition, titled 'In Minor Keys.' For the first time, the five-member jury is composed entirely of women: Solange Oliveira Farkas (president), Zoe Butt, Elvira Dyangani Ose, Marta Kuzma, and Giovanna Zapperi. They will award the prestigious Golden Lions and special mentions during the awards ceremony on May 9.
This all-female jury represents a significant shift for one of the art world's most prominent events, signaling a commitment to diverse curatorial perspectives and leadership. The jurors bring expertise from across the globe, with backgrounds in video art, Southeast Asian communities, public art biennials, art education, and art history. Their collective appointment underscores the Biennale's ongoing effort to decentralize the contemporary art narrative and amplify non-Western voices and methodologies.
