The Art Explora Festival is a traveling festival that sails the world's seas and oceans aboard its museum ship, offering innovative and free artistic and cultural experiences. From spring 2024 to autumn 2026, the festival will embark on its first tour, visiting 15 countries in the Mediterranean. To coincide with the 60th International Art Biennale, the museum ship will be anchored in Venice from April 17 to 22, at Riva Sette Martiri, just steps from the Giardiniera. Adorned with its large dock sails designed by Laure Prouvost, the museum ship resonates with "Foreigners Everywhere," the theme of this 60th Biennale, as well as with the universal message that the foundation conveys through its cultural odyssey in the Mediterranean: art transcends borders.

Workshop - Racine Caraïbe Collective
Their workshop, structured around different moments of introduction and musical practice, is dedicated to Guadeloupean dance through the Toumblack, one of the major rhythms of the Gwo-ka repertoire. Highly popular, the Toumblack is today one of the most widely practiced rhythms and one of the most immediately accessible to audiences. Marked by its energy and its unifying power, it naturally invites dancing and exchange between the drummers (tambouyé), singers, and dancers. Its vitality and festive spirit make it a true gateway to discovering the Gwo-ka.
Performance - Adolescence, Theater on Demand
Youth is a time of big questions, of grand – and sometimes conflicting – desires, a storm of intense, raw and sincere emotions. An age that passes… without ever truly leaving. Théâtre on Demand is a unique experience every single time!
