Duval-Carrié and Diago Set for Venice Biennale 2026

Each edition of the Venice Biennale shapes the global art conversation. This year’s 61st edition will include Edouard Duval-Carrié and Juan Roberto Diago, two established artists whose work spans the Caribbean and the Americas. Both artists have worked with Pan American Art Projects, a Miami-based gallery focused on artists from across the Americas.

Duval-Carrié, who lives and works in Miami, has built a practice that explores history, migration, and spirituality. Born in Haiti, he relocated to Puerto Rico as a child during the François Duvalier regime before continuing his studies in Montreal and Paris. He moved to the city in 1992 and quickly became part of its cultural fabric, later presenting a major solo exhibition at the Pérez Art Museum Miami.

Diago will represent Cuba at the Biennale, bringing a body of work shaped by identity and social history. Born in Havana in 1971, he emerged in the early 1990s as part of the Afro-Cuban art movement and continues to confront race and inequality through his work. His work is included in major collections, including the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation in Miami.

Together, their participation highlights the continued presence of artists connected to the Americas within one of the most closely watched events in contemporary art.
