The Republic di Nauru presents the project “AIM Inundated, Imagining Life After Land” at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Khaled Ramadan with the collaboration of Camilla Boemio and Stefano Cagol, and with works by artists Kauw Tsitsi, CPS (Khaled Ramadan, Alfredo Cramerotti), Patricia Jacomella Bonola, Tedo Rekhviashvili, Sylvia Grace Borda, Ron Laboray, Dorian Batycka, Khaled Hafez, Iv Toshain, and Stefano Cagol. Located in Spazio Castello 3683, the collective exhibition presents ecological precarity not as a distant horizon, but as an ongoing condition.

Marking Nauru’s first participation to the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, the Pavilion positions the world’s smallest island nation as a site where the long-term consequences of global economic and political decisions have been materially lived, and thresholds have already been crossed. Once perceived as a remote or marginal territory, Nauru is reframes as both a universal warning and a crucial guide for a shared future.
