The Herds – Biennale Danza Preview
Venice, 17 June
6 – 7:30pm
From Teatro Piccolo Arsenale to Biennale Architettura Gates

Life-size animal puppets made from recycled cardboard and wood will parade through Venice as part of The Herds, a large-scale public artwork addressing the climate crisis.

Created by Amir Nizar Zuabi with the Ukwanda Puppetry Collective, this travelling performance spans 20,000 km across Africa and Europe. In Venice, it features dancers from Biennale College Danza and new choreography by Anthony Matsena.

This event is part of the Biennale Danza 2025 preview, under the direction of Wayne McGregor.

1932–1942 Murano Glass and the Venice Biennale
LE STANZE DEL VETRO – Fondazione Giorgio Cini

A decade of fire, form, and transformation.
From the birth of the Venice Pavilion to the eve of war, Murano glass took center stage—redefining the role of decorative arts within the Biennale. The exhibition captures an era of radical experimentation, where tradition met bold material innovation, as Murano furnaces collaborated with artists and designers such as Carlo Scarpa, Flavio Poli, and Dino Martens.

From shimmering transparency to dense, textured color—glass became language, craft became art.

With 2024 almost behind us and 2025 just around the corner, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all those we have collaborated with throughout the year. Your support has been crucial in making this a truly extraordinary year for us.

This year, My Art Guide Venice accompanied the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, with the Venice Meeting Point hosting Solidarity is not a Metaphor (), curated by Nataša Petrešin () and created by Alserkal Initiative () in partnership with Cité internationale des arts ().

Lightbox managed communications for the National Pavilions of Chile (), Poland (), and Serbia (), as well as the Collateral Events Ydessa Hendeles: Grand Hotel () and Madang: Where We Become Us ().
Additionally, My Art Guide Paris was published for the third edition of Art Basel in Paris, consolidating the guide’s presence in the Ville Lumière.

2024 also saw the launch of Radical (), a magazine dedicated to natural wine, and the Vetrina catalogue of public art projects curated by Mara Sartore. Another milestone was the opening of Bea Vita (), Vino Vero’s () bistrot, accompanied by Michele Bubbacco’s () solo exhibition.

As we look ahead, we are thrilled to announce the 2025 editorial programme. The My Art Guides () series will continue to spotlight global cultural events with editions for Mexico City, Milan, Venice, Basel, and Paris.

May all that is beautiful and meaningful bring you joy this holiday season and throughout the coming year.
With gratitude and best wishes, we look forward to sharing our upcoming projects in 2025!
