In an unconventional and isolated corner of Venice, the Giudecca Women’s Prison, artists from various backgrounds and different religious beliefs come together. In close collaboration with the inmates, they have developed artistic and relational work aimed at conveying a universal message of inclusion. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in an intense poetic experience, leaving aside their digital devices. Guided by some inmates, they face a journey that challenges preconceptions and opens up new perspectives on art as a means of expression and human connection. Pope Francis has announced that on April 28th, he will visit the House of Detention to meet with inmates and visit the exhibition, before celebrating Mass in St. Mark’s Square. It is the first time in Vatican history that a Pope visits the Venice Biennale.
