Attend Venice Biennale

“Beneath wall-to-ceiling waves in the Serbian Pavilion, I mourned innumerable lives lost at sea, paying particular respects to the roughly one thousand people who died when a vessel capsized between Libya and its attempted destination, Lampedusa, Italy, on April 18, 2015. [...] I return to this exhibition’s impact continuously, especially now that I live in Senegal and spend numerous hours per week in the ocean.”

“As I entered the first chapter, Artists and Books, at the Giardini Central Pavilion, I was confronted by the energised punk-ish performance The Sun, The Moon, and The Stars, 2017 by Dawn Kasper’s mixed media installation, and as I exited the pavilion, through the chapter of Joys and Fears, several hours later, I encountered a Tavola Aperta – Open Table, with American artist Kiki Smith.”
