Venice Biennale Jury Resigns Over Russia and Israel Participation

The entire international jury of the Venice Biennale has resigned in protest over the event's decision to allow Russia and Israel to participate.

The jury cited their refusal to consider works from countries whose leaders are charged with crimes against humanity by the ICC. The EU has threatened to withhold a €2 million grant, while the awards ceremony has been postponed from May 9 to November 22.

Venice Biennale Jury Resigns Nine Days Before Opening Over Russia's Return

The entire jury of the Venice Biennale resigned just nine days before the prestigious art event's inauguration amid controversy over Russia's return for the first time since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The jury cited its previous decision not to consider countries whose leaders are charged with crimes against humanity for prizes—meaning Russia and Israel. Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said the government did not share the decision to allow Russia. The EU had already pulled a two million Euro grant over Russia's participation, which it called morally wrong.

EU Vows to Cut Venice Biennale Funding Over Russia Participation

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced Monday that the bloc intends to cut funding to the Venice Biennale following its decision to readmit Russian artists to the 2026 edition. The Biennale, one of the world's most prominent art exhibitions, is set to host Russia for the first time since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Latvia's Culture Minister Agnese Lāce spearheaded a joint position by 25 European countries calling for Russia's exclusion and said she will boycott the May 9 opening if Moscow takes part. Thirty-seven MEPs urged the EU to suspend funding estimated at around €2 million over three years.
