It is a an ongoing participatory project in the public realm initiated by Lavínia Diniz Freitas & Maix Mayer in partnership with Valérie Bussmann.
Through cultural practices of language, garment, music, and digital intervention, JAMBO VENICE: A NEW KIND OF PAVILION? aims to foster a dynamic tapestry of communication that transcends linguistic and social boundaries. It seeks to connect people across borders, blurring traditional territorial constraints to explore transnational collaborations and redefine the concept of representation. By acknowledging the narratives woven by grassroots cultural agents, the project bridges continents to promote an inclusive, participatory, and diverse dialogue.
The project consists of three components: talking clothes, social sculpture, and waterproof sounds, happening in the public spaces of Venice and Zanzibar, as well as digitally during the Venice Biennale.
