Success for British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale

Congratulations to Owen Hopkins, Director of the Farrell Centre and part of the curatorial team of this year's British Pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia.

23 May 2025

'Geology of Britannic Repair' opened on Saturday 10 May and will run until Sunday 23 November 2025. The commission is a core part of the British Council's UK/Kenya Season 2025, which celebrates the creative, cultural and educational links between the UK and Kenya.

The British Pavilion curators and commissioner have been awarded a Special Mention for National Participation at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia - for the exhibition's dialogue on "reparation and renewal".

Join the British Pavilion’s curators at the Farrell Centre on Tuesday 10 June 2025, as they present a lecture-performance that explores the exhibition's central themes of repair, reparation, and resistance.
