Venice Biennale Jury Resigns Over Awards Exclusion

The international jury for the 61st Venice Biennale resigned after a furor over its decision to exclude artists from countries accused of crimes against humanity. Jurors stepped down days after announcing the awards ban, marking the first full jury resignation in the Biennale's history. The move leaves organizers to decide whether to reconvene a replacement jury or proceed without awards, and highlights how geopolitical conflicts are reshaping major cultural events.
