Venice Biennale - Gervasuti Foundation, Maldives Pavilion

The objective of the Foundation is to establish strong collaborations specifically with artists, and with institutions and organizations, to construct a fresh perspective by means of workshops based on research and the use of context through contemporary discourse and production. While encouraging participation by the neighbourhood and involving the local community, the intention is to invite artists, as well as to build partnerships with organizations and institutions, to cooperate in creating projects that stimulate a respectful use and development of an area which, like so many others, faces the risk of being engulfed by global tourism leading to the inevitable result of loss of cultural memory.
