Last week I found out, my work would contribute to a film that is representing the UK's position in the world's biggest art festival, The Venice Biennale. This is 10 years after watching a show about Outsider Artists at the same festival.
#BritishPavilion #VeniceBiennale
The #VeniceBiennale is one of the world’s longest-running cultural festivals and we’ve been responsible for the #BritishPavilion since 1937. This year, John Akomfrah's #ListeningAllNightToTheRain will explore issues of contemporary life through the theme of listening:…
#BiennaleArchitettura2023 Special mention as National Participation to the #BritishPavilion “for the curatorial strategy and design propositions celebrating the potency of everyday rituals as forms of resistance and spatial practices in diasporic communities”.
Honoured to have been part of opening the mind-blowing #ListeningAllNightToTheRain at the #BritishPavilion in this year’s La Biennale di Venezia. John Akomfrah, Tarini Malik and the British Council have done the UK proud! BritishCouncil UK in Italy 🇬🇧🇮🇹
