Tour Description
Since its inception in 1895, Venice's Biennale international art fair has earned its place as one of the world's most important cultural events, often setting the tone for contemporary art across the globe. With over 300,000 visitors, 76 invited artists, and over 90 national pavilions, this bi-annual Biennale positions Venice as a must-see destination for any contemporary art enthusiast.
The 2024 exhibition will focus on artists who are themselves foreigners, immigrants, expatriates, diasporic, émigrés, exiled, and refugees—especially those who have moved between the Global South and the Global North. The production of these artists is the primary focus of this Biennale, and constitutes the International Exhibition’s Nucleo Contemporaneo. The Exhibition will also feature a Nucleo Storico gathering works from 20th century Latin America, Africa, the Arab world, and Asia.

The guide was AMAZING. Very knowledgeable and gave a great tour. We would have appreciated her staying even 15 longer as we had difficulty in finding our way back to the transportation. The other guides were very helpful but she seemed in a hurry to depart when in fact we didn’t have much more to see. I understand that it was a 3 hour tour but there was very little that we cared to see and that extra personal attention would have made our return back much easier.

Nadia was extremely knowledgeable but two things were very special. First she shared her own views and feelings about the art we were seeing. Second she was genuinely interested in our thoughts and knowledge.

Erika was extremely knowledgeable about art in general and the Biennale in particular. She was responsive to our requests and did an excellent tour for us.
