Foreigners Everywhere – the Venice Biennale. With Isaac Chong Wai

The 60th Venice Biennale has been running since 20 April. It was
curated by Adriano Pedrosa with the theme „Foreigners
Everywhere“. One of the artists invited by Pedrosa for the main
exhibition in Arsenale is Isaac Chong Wai. Born in Hong Kong and
living in Berlin, Isaac Chong Wai combines performance, video,
installation, painting and photography in his art. He deals with
topics such as racism and homophobia as well as celebrating
emotions. In this episode of Kulturmittler:innen, we talked to
Isaac Chong Wai about his experiences as part of the Venice
Biennale, his art and the connection between art and civil
society.
