The Venice International Art Fair 2021: Fragmented Identities

By Jonathan Banks

The Venice International Art Fair 2021: Fragmented Identities came to an end last week. I had three photographs being exhibited in the THE ROOM Contemporary Art Space | Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello in Venice between July 12 - August 01, 2021.

The Venice International Art Fair is a contemporary art exhibition that presents collective and solo projects by leading and emerging international artists. I was invited to show the work from my series of “Portraits of Survivors of Torture” produced in collaboration with TASSC International. The portraits feature survivors of Torture from around the world who fled their home countries seeking safety, recovery, and political asylum.

With the participation of more than 95 artists from more than 25 different countries, the art fair welcomed a healthy number of people back to the gallery. I was unable to attend the Art Fair due to the current travel restrictions, but the good people at ITSLIQUID sent me some pictures of my work at the fair as well as some general photos.
