Gabrielle Goliath Is Bringing Her Canceled South Africa Pavilion Show to Venice Anyway
South African artist Gabrielle Goliath will present in Venice a version of the project that had been planned for South Africa’s national pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale but was later canceled. The Artnet News report, published March 25, 2026, says Goliath is proceeding with the exhibition independently in Venice despite the official withdrawal. The move keeps her work visible during the Biennale period even without formal pavilion status.
