The Nauru National Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2026 presents the international satellite event series titled Between Environmental Aesthetics and Geopolitics.

The series is part of the Nauru National Pavilion’s education and outreach plan and brings together an international network of artists, curators, and cultural institutions to examine how ecological crises are translated into aesthetic form, how art shapes our understanding of the environment, and how creative practices illuminate the complex relationships between humans and natural systems.

Each session features presentations and discussions with leading practitioners, followed by a Q&A, providing critical perspectives on responsibility, care, and coexistence in a rapidly changing world.

We welcome partnerships with art and cultural institutions, universities, galleries, and academies to host events such as seminars, educational programs, lectures, and talks.

These collaborations offer unique opportunities for audiences and participants to engage directly with pavilion curators, participating artists, and cultural practitioners, fostering dialogue and exchange around contemporary art, ecology, and cultural practice.

By participating, audiences gain fresh insights into the intersections of art, society, and the environment, while institutions and practitioners can expand their networks, share expertise, and contribute to meaningful cultural and educational experiences.
