VENENO × 36TH BIENAL DE SÃO PAULO

Collaboration with the 36th Bienal de São Paulo, one of the most important art exhibitions in Latin America, currently taking place at the Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion under the title “Not All Travellers Walk Roads – Of Humanity as Practice”, curated by Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung and his conceptual team.

Inspired by the poem “Da calma e do silêncio” by Conceição Evaristo, this edition invites us to rethink humanity as a verb — a living practice based on listening, coexistence, and the encounter between different worlds and voices.

In tune with this idea, Veneno and the Bienal come together for a series of mixes and sound selections created by the festival’s curatorial team, exploring sound as a space for reflection, convergence, and dialogue.
