Curated by Adriano Pedrosa, the first queer and South American curator in its history, the biennale includes several artistic positions previously featured in C&AL. For most of these artists this has been their first big break, marking a shift in the usual power dynamic and offering a glimpse of what the future might look like at prestigious contemporary art events.
