Venice Biennial Art exhibition 2024
FEMINA - MARE NOSTRUM
This project was born quite naturally. It comes from far away. Its origins and future lie in Venice, a seafaring country that has always been aware of the
treasure represented by the sea.
The sea, source of life, which we have exploited and damaged. Having already caused the disappearance of numerous living species, the landlubber must react and follow the wise and noble example of the Venetian, who for 1600 years has respected his union with the lagoon, the Adriatic, in other words the Mediterranean and all the oceans. Artists have thought and worked around the eternal yet threatened theme of the simple future of this source of life and travel that is the sea.
