For the first time in its history, Biennale workers went on strike in Venice over the presence of Russia and Israel at the art exhibition, resulting in the closure of twenty pavilions and reflecting significant political tensions amidst ongoing global conflicts, while the event's opening was marked by protests and discussions around institutional complicity with war-related issues. #VeniceBiennale #ArtProtests #CulturalPolitics #RU #IL
