JANIS RAFA TAKES PART AT THE EXHIBITION “THE MILK OF DREAMS”

Janis Rafa (SNF ARTWORKS Fellow 2020) takes part at the 59th Venice Biennale’s Main Exhibition “The Milk of Dreams” curated by Italian-born, New York-based curator Cecilia Alemani. The Venice Biennale’s main exhibition “The Milk of Dreams” will feature 213 artists from 58 countries.

“The Milk of Dreams” takes its title from a book by Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) – Cecilia Alemani stated – in which the Surrealist artist describes a magical world where life is constantly re-envisioned through the prism of the imagination. It is a world where everyone can change, be transformed, become something or someone else. The exhibition “The Milk of Dreams” takes Leonora Carrington’s otherworldly creatures, along with other figures of transformation, as companions on an imaginary journey through the metamorphoses of bodies and definitions of the human.

The show is set to include scores of fresh positions spanning more than 150 years: a total of 180 artists, dead and alive, are taking part for the first time, and there will be 80 newly commissioned productions.

Congratulations Janis!

The 59th International Art Exhibition will take place from 23 April to 27 November 2022 (pre-opening on 20, 21 and 22 April).
