    Born in Beirut in 1970, Danielle Arbid moved to Paris at the age of 17. She directed her first film in 1997 and has been focusing on fiction since then, with her work being selected in many festivals.

    The exhibition will be curated by Nada Ghandour, a cultural heritage curator.

    According to an announcement made by the Ministry of Culture and the Lebanese Visual Arts Association, Arbid and Baalbaki were chosen to represent Lebanon “for their ability to illustrate the plurality and richness of contemporary Lebanese art, which is indeed what makes it singular, and also because they represent the Lebanese people, whether living in Lebanon and elsewhere in the world.”

    The Venice Biennale is one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in the world and one of the oldest. Its first International Art Exhibition was organized in 1895.

    The biannual art exhibition had to be canceled twice due to the pandemic and pushed to 2022.

    It is worth mentioning that, in 2020, the board of La Biennale di Venezia appointed the Lebanese architect, educator, and scholar Hashim Sarkis as the curator of the 2021 International Architecture Exhibition that had to be postponed. Sarkis was also a member of the international jury of the 2016 Biennale Architettura.
