Venice Biennale Jury Resigns Over Awards Exclusion
The international jury for the Venice Biennale resigned after organizers enacted a policy excluding artists from countries accused of crimes against humanity from awards eligibility. The mass resignation came days before the 61st International Art Exhibition opened and marked the first full jury resignation in Biennale history. Jury members said the exclusion politicized prize decisions and left organizers without a panel to select key awards. The walkout forces the Biennale to find replacements quickly and underscores how geopolitical conflicts can directly shape major cultural events and artists' careers.
⚡️Venice Art Biennale’s jury resigns in protest over Russian, Israeli presence just days before festival starts. The jury's resignation comes just one day after the European Union's culture commissioner announced that he would boycott the Venice Art Biennale over Russia's presence.
Hurray, there is still some principle left!
bravo art jury - BRAVO ! take a stand against this ugly ruZZian species - thank you!
The best way to do it , dont resign months in advance resign at the very last moment and destroy the festival
Dear Ukraine: the BS around the May. 9 "fake parade" ruzzzzian cease-fire? - UKRAINE HAS ACCOMODATED THE RUZZIAN EVIL TOO MANY TIMES! correct? .. this time Ukraine should agree ONLY to a cease fire that lasts 6 months ! the world knows the ruzzian economy is in collapse. No more favors
