Podcast about the Venice Biennale, Manifesta 8, and the history of Chamber of Public Secrets

Independent curator Rikke Jørgensen of Arts & Globalization joins artist and curator Khaled Ramadan for a podcast conversation exploring the history and conceptual evolution of the international arts and curatorial collective Chamber of Public Secrets. The discussion traces the role of national pavilions at the Venice Biennale, Manifesta 8, and the 3rd Guangzhou Triennial. Ramadan and Jørgensen also focus on the latest curatorial project: the National Pavilion of Nauru at Biennale Arte 2026. Marking the country’s first participation, Nauru presents AIM Inundated: Imagining Life After Land, a project that examines the historical and ecological realities of the South Pacific microstate. The pavilion positions Nauru’s experience as both a warning and a critical lens through which to reflect on shared global futures shaped by accelerating climate change.
