VENICE BIENNALE: The Only True Protest Is Beauty

Immersing us into the exhibition titled The Only True Protest Is Beauty, we are walked through gilded halls decorated by perhaps even more gilded Dries Van Noten pieces. Located at Palazzo Pisani Moretta, the exhibition — curated by Dries Van Noten with Geert Bruloot — is an exploration of beauty through a constellation of diverse mediums that converge both in contrast and affinity. Craftsmanship is honoured, which is only enriched by the historic architecture that houses it. Creating a space for fashion to be displayed during the Biennale Arte allows the true artistry of these pieces to be recognised, introducing a new dimension to the traditional spheres that appear at the festival.
