Chris Kraus, Venice Pavilions, Rina Banerjee – it's all about the moons and breathing moons put up by Shirley Tse and Dana Berman Duff. The show is a poignant reminder of humanity’s dual nature: creator and breather. Dean Millien’s sculptures made from aluminum foil are another highlight, showcasing his childhood fascination that has grown into an artistic journey.

But let's not forget the politics behind it all. As national pavilions stand as testaments to their respective nations' cultural and political narratives, they also serve as a mirror reflecting our global community’s fractured state. The term 'Golden Age' is a misnomer, painted with a broad brush that doesn’t quite capture the complex tapestry of history.

The Venice Biennale is more than just art; it's an exploration into the human condition, both beautiful and flawed. As we tear up over solidarity, we are also reminded of the ongoing struggles for freedom and equality around the world. The biennale provides a stage where these stories converge, making it a vital space not only for artists but for humanity as a whole.

As Hakim Bishara writes, perhaps the best time to visit is during the fall, when the heat waves subside and the air feels cooler. But even more importantly, it’s a reminder that these pavilions are more than just exhibits; they are mirrors of our collective past and present.
