The 17th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia is curated by architect and scholar Hashim Sarkis. 'We need a new spatial contract. In the context of widening political divides and growing economic inequalities, we call on architects to imagine spaces in which we can generously live together', Sarkis has commented.

The International Exhibition includes 112 Participants from 46 countries, with a growing delegation from Africa, Latin America and Asia and with a wide female representation. The Exhibition is organized into five scales, three are exhibited in the Arsenale and two in the Central Pavilion: Among Diverse Beings  (Arsenale), As New Households  (Arsenale), As Emerging Communities  (Arsenale), Across Borders (Giardini, Central Pavilion), As One Planet (Giardini, Central Pavilion).
