Qui sont les membres du jury de la Biennale de Venise ?
The 61st Venice Biennale, opening May 9, 2026, has announced its international jury, which is composed entirely of women. The five members are Solange Oliveira Farkas (president), Zoe Butt, Elvira Dyangani Ose, Marta Kuzma, and Giovanna Zapperi, hailing from Brazil, Thailand, Spain, the United States, and Switzerland. Their backgrounds span the Global South, feminist studies, and transnational curatorial practices.
This all-female jury marks a deliberate departure from the mixed-gender juries of 2024 and 2022, signaling the Biennale's commitment to gender equity and diverse perspectives. The jury will award the Golden Lions and other prizes, continuing a tradition that in 2024 recognized artists from Australia, the Mataaho Collective, Karimah Ashadu, Anna Maria Maiolino, and Nil Yalter. The composition reflects broader shifts in the art world toward inclusivity and representation.
