The National
Pavilion of Paraguay : The Power of an Idea that unifies
Initiated and
supported by Elisa Victoria Aquino Laterza since December 2010. She presented
the idea of a Paraguay Pavilion to the Ministers of Culture and Foreign
Affairs. The idea of Paraguay’s own space in Venice Biennale continued and
developed during last 2 years under the leadership of its Commissioner and the
support of enterprises, individuals and Government officials.
Commissioner
Elisa Victoria Aquino Laterza, former diplomat and supporter of the arts,
education and culture of Paraguay around the world, is now expecting that the
country unifies around this idea that still requires the support of the media
and additional funding from public and private sources, wishing that these will
be the first of many Paraguayan participations in the whole cultural panorama
of the Venice Biennale.
We are honored to
be guided and supported in Venice by Arch. Tiziano Inguanotto and the studio
Arbur Italia. Their commitment to art and their support for Paraguay’s
international art scene is crucial; added the Commissioner.
The Paraguay
Pavilion at the Venice Biennale will be a historical event becoming the first
participation with a National own personal space . The Paraguay Pavilion is
born with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Foreign
Affairs through the Embassy of Paraguay in Italy and particularly H.E.
Ambassador of Paraguay Ms. Ana Baiardi.
