Vatican's 'Opera Aperta' Exhibition at the Venice Biennale Explores Architecture | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Venice Biennale, one of Europe's largest celebrations of art, is often referred to as "The Art Olympics." This prestigious international event has showcased cutting-edge exhibitions since its inception in 1895. This year, the Vatican will once again participate in the Venice Biennale of Architecture, running from May 10 to November 23. The theme, "Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective," seeks to explore how different forms of intelligence can address global challenges like climate change. At the Holy See's exhibition, titled "Opera Aperta" ("Open Work"), architectural contributions from designers such as Tatiana Bilbao Estudio from Mexico and MAIO Architects from Spain will be showcased. The exhibition will take place in the unused church of Santa Maria Ausiliatrice, a space that reflects openness and fosters dialogue between architecture, culture, and spirituality. The project highlights the community's role in shaping spaces that meet societal needs.
