HM&C is honored to announce the inclusion of Freddy Rodríguez's Mulato de Tal (1974) in the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia's Stranieri Ovunque - Foreigners Everywhere curated by Adriano Pedrosa. The Biennale is open from April 20th through November 24th.
"The backdrop for the work is a world rife with multifarious crises concerning the movement and existence of people across countries, nations, territories and borders, which reflect the perils and pitfalls of language, translation, nationality, expressing differences and disparities conditioned by identity, nationality, race, gender, sexuality, freedom, and wealth. In this panorama, the expression 'Foreigners Everywhere' has several meanings. [...] Artists have always traveled and moved about, under various circumstances, through cities, countries and continents, something that has only accelerated since the late 20th century—ironically a period marked by increasing restrictions regarding the dislocation or displacement of people. The Biennale Arte 2024’s primary focus is thus artists who are themselves foreigners, immigrants, expatriates, diasporic, émigrés, exiled, or refugees—particularly those who have moved between the Global South and the Global North. Migration and decolonization are key themes here."
-Adriano Pedrosa, Curator of the 60th International Art Exhibition
