Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, curated by Adriano Pedrosa and organised by La Biennale di Venezia, will be open to the public in the Giardini and the Arsenale from Saturday 20 April to Sunday 24 November 2024. The pre-opening events will take place on 17, 18 and 19 April, with the awards ceremony and inauguration on 20 April 2024. The exhibition will be divided into two sections: the Nucleo Contemporaneo and the Nucleo Storico. The selection process has prioritised artists who have not yet participated in the International Exhibition, with a focus on outdoor projects and indigenious artists. A programme of events is also planned for the weekends before and after the opening, with performances in both venues.
The title Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere is inspired by a series of works by the Claire Fontaine collective that began in 2004. The phrase reflects on the presence of foreigners in different contexts and explores the concept of being a foreigner regardless of location. It draws on the efforts of a Turin-based collective that fought against racism and xenophobia in Italy in the early 2000s.
For the curator, the theme is personal. “The expression Stranieri Ovunque – explains Adriano Pedrosa – has several meanings. First of all, that wherever you go and wherever you are you will always encounter foreigners— they/we are everywhere. Secondly, that no matter where you find yourself, you are always truly, and deep down inside, a foreigner.”
“The Italian straniero, the Portuguese estrangeiro, the French étranger, and the Spanish extranjero, are all etymologically connected to the strano, the estranho, the étrange, the extraño, respectively, which is precisely the stranger. Sigmund Freud’s Das Unheimliche comes to mind—The Uncanny in English, which in Portuguese has indeed been translated as “o estranho”– the strange that is also familiar, within, deep down side. According to the American Heritage and the Oxford Dictionaries, the first meaning of the word “queer” is precisely “strange”, and thus the Exhibition unfolds and focuses on the production of other related subjects: the queer artist, who has moved within different sexualities and genders, often being persecuted or outlawed; the outsider artist, who is located at the margins of the art world, much like the self-taught artist, the folk artist and the artista popular; the indigenous artist, frequently treated as a foreigner in his or her own land. The productions of these four subjects are the interest of this Biennale, constituting the Nucleo Contemporaneo.”
