What unites Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Panama, Uzbekistan, Egypt and Azerbaijan? All the countries had artists representing them at the Venice Biennale who have passed through London’s very own United Nations, the Delfina Foundation. More alumni of the exhibition and residency programmes – directed by Cezar for the past 17 years – including the likes of Manauara Clandestina, Dana Awartani, Lydia Ourahmane, Ali Cherri, Larissa Sansour and Ahmet Öğüt, could be found in the Biennale’s main show and collateral events. This year, Cezar could also be seen across the world, from a talks programme in India to a gin brand launch during Hong Kong’s Art Week: not only is he scouting for talent, but also on the lookout for £7m, the amount needed to secure the institution’s future since the death of its patron and founder, Delfina Entrecanales, in 2022. Meanwhile in London, two shows: a five-artist exhibition curated by Dominican artist Yina Jiménez Suriel and solo exhibitions for Indian artist Soumya Sankar Bose and Myanmar artist Moe Satt.
