La Biennale on Air

In the pilot episode of La Biennale on Air, we dive into the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, sail aboard the floating platform AquaPraça, revisit Aldo Rossi’s legendary Teatro del Mondo, dance alongside herds of life-size puppet animals with the Biennale College Danza dancers, get a preview of the Biennale Musica 2025, and browse the latest issue of the Biennale Magazine. This first episode unfolds through discoveries and encounters that cross disciplines and generations – with contributions from, among others, Alberto Barbera, Caterina Barbieri, Guillermo del Toro, Werner Herzog, Jude Law, Carlo Ratti, Benny Safdie, and Charlotte Wells.

In the second episode of La Biennale on Air, sound becomes our compass. From the Biennale Musica 2025, Artistic Director Caterina Barbieri reflects on music, Venice, and her Star Within, while Meredith Monk, Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, shares an intimate conversation on the boundless possibilities of the human voice. Other artists from the Festival – Carl Craig, Actress, and Fennesz – chart new constellations of electronic sound. Meanwhile in Istanbul, curator Luigia Lonardelli and artist Cevdet Erek discuss the travelling project Amfibio, part of the Historical Archive’s Special Project The Wind Makes the Sky. La Biennale di Venezia in the Footsteps of Marco Polo. The episode closes with cinematic echoes: Orson Welles remembered by Peter Cowie, and a tribute to Robert Redford.
 
Music interludes between sections feature excerpts from works by the Biennale College Musica 2025 artists: res_, Morgana, Francesca Fabrizi, Luka Aron, and Jasmine Morris.
