TBA21–Academy’s public program during the Venice Biennale of Architecture vernissage week
7 May – 11 May 2025
How can art, sound, architecture, and community come together to imagine new futures for our oceans and planet? During the opening week of the Venice Architecture Biennale, Ocean Space invites you to explore this question through a multidisciplinary public program featuring over 20 international artists and creators, including Tessa Mars, Nadia Huggins, Hannah Catherine Jones, Kelman Duran, Vivian Caccuri, and Thiago Lanis. Developed in collaboration with more than 15 leading institutions—among them The Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), Storefront for Art and Architecture, Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale, New European Bauhaus, AEON Collective, Fondazione Ratti, CultTech Association, and major architecture awards such as the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, Holcim Foundation, and EUmies Awards—the program offers a vibrant space for dialogue and imagination. Anchored by the exhibition otras montañas, las que andan sueltas bajo el agua, it unfolds through performances, talks, listening sessions, and gatherings—free and open to the public—inviting audiences to reimagine the Ocean as a site of creativity, resistance, and collective transformation.
