Venice 2026: Africa Reframes the Biennale
from AFRICA: Changing the Narrative · host Africa.com LLC
At the 2026 Venice Biennale, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art brought 100 guests to preview week, anchoring a distinctly African lens on one of the world’s biggest art stages. This episode explores Koyo Kouoh’s vision for In Minor Keys, the presence of 13 African nations, and the role of NMAfA’s Art Ambassadors in helping shape how African pavilions are seen, discussed, and remembered. From guided tours to deeper questions of narrative authority, this is Venice reframed through African eyes.
