La Biennale on Air

La Biennale di Venezia

La Biennale on Air is the brand-new official Podcast of La Biennale di Venezia – your backstage pass to a cultural institution with over 130 years of history. In under 30 minutes, each episode takes you behind the scenes of La Biennale’s seven Artistic Departments – Art, Architecture, Cinema, Dance, Music, Theatre, and the Historical Archive – through conversations with artists, curators, thinkers, performers, and cultural trailblazers. Blending rare archival treasures with highlights from today’s Festivals and Exhibitions, the Podcast uncovers hidden stories, new ideas, and different perspectives. Rooted in Venice but open to the world, La Biennale on Air offers a monthly journey into untold stories, ongoing projects, and the voices shaping culture – across time, disciplines, and borders.
