The Venice Biennale:
Traditions, History, and Dreams 

Conference by Greer Pagano, Ph.D.


The Venice Biennale began in 1895 as an intentionally international celebration of the art world. It has continued to be a locus for innovation, political commentary, social interaction, and a prestigious platform for the display of groundbreaking modern and contemporary art. This presentation looks at poignant and powerful moments throughout the Biennale's history and celebrates the upcoming 59th edition entitled The Milk of Dreams, which the Biennale Curator Cecilia Alemani describes as “an imaginary journey through metamorphoses of the body and definitions of humanity.” We will give special attention to the American artist Simone Leigh who will represent the United States with a series of monumental clay and bronze sculptures that draw on the labor and resilience of Black women across global histories.
