Venice Biennale | Nauru Pavilion Satellite Event: The Free Art School

This panel discussion examines the intersections of ecology, material tradition, and contemporary painting. Bringing together artists, educators, and students from the Free Art School, the conversation considers how artistic materials, methods, and traditions shape our relationship with the environment. Against the backdrop of growing ecological concerns, the discussion explores the responsibilities and possibilities: from the material choices artists make to the cultural knowledge embedded in artistic practice. The event was presented as a satellite event of the Nauru Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
