Guide to the 60th Venice Art Biennale (April 20 - Nov. 24 2024), titled Stranieri Ovunque - Foreigners Everywhere, curated by Adriano Pedrosa. The title Stranieri Ovunque - Foreigners Everywhere is drawn from a series of works started in 2004 by the Paris-born and Palermo-based Claire Fontaine collective. The works consist of neon sculptures in different colours that render in a growing number of languages the words “Foreigners Everywhere”. The phrase comes, in turn, from the name of a Turin collective who fought racism and xenophobia in Italy in the early 2000s. The expression Stranieri Ovunque - explained Adriano Pedrosa - has several meanings. First of all, that wherever you go and wherever you are you will always encounter foreigners— they/we are everywhere. Secondly, that no matter where you find yourself, you are always truly, and deep down inside, a foreigner.
