To what extent and how will large migrations and the climate crisis, ageing, demographic development, and access to housing and education impact the community?
We will try to answer these questions in the first forum dedicated to the themes and ideas of the 24th International Exhibition, titled Inequalities, which we will host for six months starting from May 2025. After two International Exhibitions dedicated to reflecting on humans' relationship with the sphere of natural phenomena and to how it appears far more unknown to us today than the sciences have promised us, Triennale invites the world of culture, science and the arts to think about the great issue of inequalities. The conference—the first event in the public program leading up to the Exhibition—will consist of two main sessions, dealing with geopolitics and biopolitics, and will feature more than twenty-five speakers, including curators, designers, scholars, researchers and internationally renowned experts.
