ACP-Palazzo Franchetti, Venice Biennale

The major group exhibition 'Breasts', exhibited during the Venice Biennale at ACP Palazzo Franchetti. Curated by Carolina Pasti it showcased the works of more than thirty emerging and established artists from around the world. The exhibition spans the fields of painting, sculpture, photography, and film from the 1500s to the present day. Reflecting on a range of themes from motherhood to empowerment, sexuality to body image and illness, the exhibition investigates how the breast acts as a catalyst to discuss socio-political realities, challenge historical traditions, and express personal and collective identities. The breast, functioning as a signifier, occupies a space of profound personal , human, cultural and political significance.
