Artist and curators refuse to open Israel pavilion at Venice Biennale until cease-fire, hostage deal
The artist and curators representing Israel at this year’s Venice Biennale have announced they won’t open the Israeli exhibition until there's a cease-fire in Gaza and an agreement to release hostages. In a statement, the curators said: “The art can wait, but the women, children and people living through hell cannot." Their decision was posted on a sign on the Israeli pavilion on Tuesday. (Apr. 16)
