Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Venice Biennale Jury Resigns Over Russia And Israel Row
Caption: Venice Biennale Jury Resigns Over Russia And Israel Row. The entire jury of the Venice Biennale resigned over the inclusion of Russia and Israel. The move escalated a long-running dispute over reopening Russia’s pavilion after the Ukraine invasion. Jurors said they refused to engage with countries whose leaders face accusations of serious international crimes. The decision deepened tensions between organizers, the Italian government and EU officials. Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli ordered an investigation into whether Russia’s participation aligns with sanctions. The European Commission also cut funding over the controversy. Organizers announced visitors will now vote for winners instead of a traditional jury. The Biennale defended its stance, saying art should remain a space for dialogue despite geopolitical conflict.
