111 Artists, Zero Decibels of Revolution — Venice Chose the Opposite of Noise

The exhibition marks an unprecedented moment in art history — the first African woman to curate the event, Koyo Kouoh, completed her curatorial vision before her sudden passing in 2025, and the Biennale has chosen to realize her plan without a single alteration, signaling that Global South art discourse has achieved institutional permanence within the Western art establishment.
