The 2026 Venice Biennale will open in less than two months. While the Israeli Pavilion in the Giardini remains closed, the current administration of the Biennale has made the deliberate decision to allocate Israel a space in the Arsenale instead of forcing it to seek an alternative space — or to not participate at all.
In an essay for Hyperallergic, the Art Not Genocide Alliance (ANGA angalliance) makes the case for boycotting and excluding Israel, for refusing to engage with “a form of liberal apathy that operates hand in hand with fascism.”
You can read the essay in full, now, by visiting the link in our bio.
