Questioning Citizenship at the Venice Biennale: Responses and Interventions

byAdrian Blackwell, Elle Flanders, Justin A. Langlois, Tamira Sawatsky, Amanda Shore, Leah Snyder and Rinaldo Walcott

These writers revisit projects and presentations at the Venice Biennale that offer alternative models for practicing and engaging with citizenship that are “nuanced, complicated and poetic,” including Public Studio and Adrian Blackwell’s performative intervention Migrant Choir. They further ruminate on the idealistic curatorial intervention of Okwui Enwezor, and the dialogue generated between Indigenous peoples and recently displaced populations during the Creative Time Summit.
