Volkswagen Group is backing the education program of the German Pavilion at the 61st Biennale Arte di Venezia, aiming to foster cultural engagement and critical thinking.
What Happened
The German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, curated by Kathleen Reinhardt, features artworks by Henrike Naumann and Sung Tieu exploring the impact of historical ruptures like the fall of the Berlin Wall. Volkswagen Group is supporting the pavilion's education program to enable public engagement with art and culture.
“Through the art of Henrike Naumann and Sung Tieu, the German Pavilion in Venice transforms into a space of historical and political significance that reflects our turbulent present.”
“Art and culture open up spaces for new perspectives, social exchange, and shared learning. Therefore, engaging visitors with art and culture is a key component of our international commitment.”
