The influx of emails announcing which artists are representing their respective countries at the 2022 Venice Biennale has been a steady trickle since at least 2019, when the previous edition closed, and has carried on through 2020 now that the so-called “art world Olympics” has been delayed another year due to the global pandemic. The 59th edition of the show, which will be under the direction of High Line chief curator Cecilia Alemani, will run in Venice from April 23 through November 27. The title of the show is “The Milk of Dreams,” a name taken from Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington’s absurdist book initially published in the 1950s and released in English in 2017. We will keep updating this list as more nations announce their artists, curators, themes, and venues.

She said of the news, “you could have knocked me down with a feather when I got the call.” The artist is a professor at the University of the Arts in London and rose to prominence in the 1980s with work that interpreted personal and social relationships through the lenses of race, gender, and class.

Artist: Shigeyuki (Yuki) Kihara Curator: Natalie King Venue: TBD Fun Fact: The Samoan and Japanese artist Yuki Kihara’s work explores the historic and contemporary representation of Pacific societies. One of their best known works is the photographic series “Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?” (2013), named after one of Paul Gaugin’s most famous paintings of Tahiti.

The series is based on staged postcards of the South Seas, in which they untangle the myth of a Pacific paradise by posing as a 19th-century Samoan woman posed at sites around Samoa in the aftermath of the devastating 2009 tsunami and 2012 cyclone

Artists: Ronald Muchatuta, Kresiah Mukwazhi, Terrence Musekiwa, and Wallen Mapondera // Curator: Fadzai Muchemwa Venue: TBD

What to Know: The artists bring diverse perspectives to Zimbabwe’s national pavilion: Mukwazhi’s work is inspired by the global #Metoo movement and addresses sexual assault within South Africa, while Mapondera addresses social relationships through intricate installations made from textiles, often commenting on power structures.

“These men and woman made an impact in global art circles by navigating Zimbabwean society through their work,” said the country’s minister of youth, sport, arts, and recreation, Hon Kirsty Coventry, in a statement. “It is because of these trailblazing young and mature artists that Zimbabwe is viewed from a different lens; as cultured as our history, as critical in thought as any other nation in the world, and fearless in telling our own stories.”
