The Victor Pinchuk Foundation and the PinchukArtCentre present “Still Joy — From Ukraine into the World” as an official Collateral Event of the 61st International Art Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia. It will be held at the Palazzo Contarini Polignac in Venice from May 9th until August 1st, 2026.

“Still Joy — From Ukraine into the World” brings together leading international and Ukrainian artists reflecting on the concept of joy as both a vital force and a radical act of humanity. The exhibition’s starting point and a disruptive agent are the testimonies collected by two Ukrainian story-gatherers : Hlib Stryzhko, a marine and veteran, a prisoner of war. These stories are anchoring fragments of reality within the exhibition.
