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.

A particular curatorial characteristic of the international exhibition at Giardini is what Pedrosa calls Nucleo Storico. These rooms contain a variety of modernist art works by artists from Africa, Latin America and Asia in an attempt to correct some historical blindspots at the Biennale.
