Sara Shamma to represent Syria at the 61st International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di
Venezia (9 May – 22 November 2026), with Yuko Hasegawa as the curator

● Shamma’s presentation explores Syria’s cultural heritage and Palmyra’s diverse histories,
while advocating for the restitution of antiquities looted during the Syrian War (2011–2024)
● This presentation marks a shift in format from earlier editions of the Syrian Pavilion,
which have typically presented a group of Syrian artists alongside invited international
artists

22 January 2026, Damascus, Syria: Sara Shamma will represent Syria at the 61st International Art
Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, running from 9 May – 22 November 2026. Curated by Yuko
Hasegawa, The Tower Tomb of Palmyra will be presented at the National Pavilion of Syria,
commissioned by the Ministry of Culture. The pavilion marks a new chapter in the country’s
international cultural engagement following the Syrian War (2011–2024).
This year’s presentation marks a shift in format from earlier editions of the Syrian Pavilion, which have
typically presented a group of Syrian artists alongside invited international artists. It foregrounds a
single Syrian artist, reaffirming the country’s presence within the global contemporary art landscape.
Combining painting, architecture, light, sound, and scent, the exhibition will explore Syria’s cultural
heritage and Palmyra’s diverse histories, while advocating for the restitution of antiquities looted
during the Syrian War. It will feature a large-scale immersive installation inspired by the ancient
funerary towers of Palmyra, which once stood as a crossroads of Greco-Roman, Aramaic, and Arab
cultures, where communities of different religions and backgrounds coexisted in harmony, tolerance,
and mutual respect.

Built between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD, the tower tombs were monumental family mausoleums
rising high above the desert landscape. All were destroyed during the war, with hundreds of funerary
portraits looted and sold abroad, transforming the towers into enduring symbols of cultural loss.
Sara Shamma said: “Through The Tower Tomb of Palmyra, I aim to honour Syria’s cultural heritage
and the resilience of its people. Palmyra’s towers, though destroyed, continue to speak to the strength
and diversity of our history. This exhibition is not only a reflection on loss, but a message of hope,
unity, and the importance of protecting and restoring our shared heritage."
Yuko Hasegawa said: “Sara Shamma’s work transcends national narratives, using Palmyra’s history
to explore universal ideas of memory, loss, and cultural resilience. The exhibition invites audiences to
experience these themes through an immersive artistic experience, and positions Syria firmly within
global contemporary art discourse.”
The exhibition will be on view from 9 May – 22 November 2026 at the National Pavilion of Syria,
located in the open-air courtyard of the Università Iuav di Venezia (University Institute of Architecture
of Venice), Cotonificio campus.
Further details on the exhibition will be announced at a later date.

About Sara Shamma
Sara Shamma (b. 1975, Damascus, Syria) is one of Syria’s most significant contemporary artists
working internationally. Renowned for her emotionally charged figurative paintings, her practice
centres on the human condition, exploring themes of loss, resilience, identity, memory, and
displacement through psychologically expressive figures.
Shamma has exhibited extensively across Europe, the Middle East, and internationally, with more
than 25 major solo exhibitions including Echoes of 12 Years at the National Museum of Damascus
(2024–2025), Bold Spirits at Dulwich Picture Gallery, London (2023), and Modern Slavery, presented
at King’s College London and touring UK cathedrals (2019–2021), alongside solo shows in Syria,
London, Dubai, Kuwait, and Lebanon. Her work has been shown in leading institutions and venues
such as the Royal Academy of Arts (London), Royal College of Art (London), Christie’s (Dubai,
London), Bonhams (London), Sotheby’s (London), and international Biennales such as the Sharjah
Biennial, Cairo Biennale, and Mediterranean Biennial. Her works are held in notable public collections
including the National Museum of Damascus, British Council, and UAE Ministry of Culture, as well as
private collections.
She graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Damascus in 1998 and has received
numerous international awards, including Fourth Prize at the BP Portrait Award (London, 2004), and
First Prize at the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize (Australia, 2008), among others. In 2010, she
was appointed a Celebrity Partner of the United Nations World Food Programme, supporting
humanitarian causes through her artistic practice.
After eight years living and working in the UK under the Exceptional Talent Visa, Shamma returned
permanently to Damascus in late 2024, reaffirming her commitment to artistic production, cultural
engagement and renewal within Syria.

サラ・シャマが第61回国際美術展覧会「ラ・ビエンナーレ・ディ・ヴェネツィア」（2026年5月9日～11月22日）にシリア代表として参加、長谷川祐子がキュレーターを務める。
● シャマの展示はシリアの文化遺産とパルミラ遺跡の多様な歴史を探求すると同時に、シリア内戦（2011-2024年）中に略奪された古代遺物の返還を訴える。
● シリア館の従来のシリア人作家集団と招待国際作家を併列展示する形式から転換。

2026年1月22日、シリア・ダマスカス：
サラ・シャマが、2026年5月9日～11月22日に開催される第61回ヴェネチア・ビエンナーレ国際美術展にシリア代表として参加する。長谷川祐子氏がキュレーションを担当する『パルミラ塔墓』が、文化省の委嘱によりシリア国家パビリオンで展示される。本パビリオンはシリア内戦（2011-2024年）を経て、同国の国際文化交流における新たな章を刻むものである。今年の展示は、シリア館の従来の形式からの転換となり、従来はシリア人アーティストのグループと招待された国際アーティストを併せて紹介してきたが、今回は一人のシリア人アーティストを前面に押し出し、同国が世界の現代美術シーンにおいて存在感を示していることを再確認させる。絵画、建築、光、音、香りを融合させた本展は、シリアの文化的遺産とパルミラ遺跡の多様な歴史を探求すると同時に、シリア内戦中に略奪された古代遺物の返還を訴える。パルミラ古代の葬送塔に着想を得た大規模没入型インスタレーションを展示。同地はかつてギリシャ・ローマ、アラム、アラブ文化の交差点として、異なる宗教・背景を持つ共同体が調和と寛容、相互尊重のもと共存していた。紀元1世紀から3世紀にかけて建造されたこれらの塔墓は、砂漠の風景にそびえ立つ記念碑的な一族の霊廟であった。戦争で全てが破壊され、数百点の葬送肖像画が略奪され、国外へ流出。塔は文化喪失の永続的な象徴へと変貌を遂げた。

サラ・シャマのコメント：「『パルミラ塔墓』を通じて、私はシリアの文化遺産とその人々の不屈の精神を称えたい。破壊されたパルミラの塔は今もなお、私たちの歴史の強さと多様性を語り続けている。この展覧会は喪失への省察であると同時に、希望と団結、そして共有する遺産を保護し修復することの重要性についてのメッセージでもある」

長谷川祐子のコメント：「サラ・シャマの作品は国家の物語を超越し、パルミラの歴史を用いて記憶、喪失、文化的回復力という普遍的な概念を探求しています。本展覧会は没入型の芸術体験を通じて、これらのテーマを観客に体感させるとともに、シリアを現代美術のグローバルなコンテキストの中にしっかりと位置づけます。」

本展覧会は2026年5月9日から11月22日まで、ヴェネツィア建築大学（IUAV）Cotonificio校舎の屋外中庭に位置するシリア国立パビリオンにて開催される。
展覧会の詳細については後日発表される。

EPISODE 4: The Journey to Sustainability Onsite
The Circular Museum, a collaboration between MoMA’s Ambasz Institute and ART 2030, is a virtual panel discussion series inviting artists, museum directors, curators, exhibition designers, and other museum practitioners from around the world to talk about their efforts to address the climate crisis through their work. In six episodes, the series explores how incorporating sustainability and circularity into various levels of museum practice is not only urgent but desirable.

The fourth episode brings together artist Olafur Eliasson and curator Yuko Hasegawa to revisit their collaboration on the exhibition Sometimes the river is the bridge at Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in 2020. Having approached the project as a pilot for ‘sustainable exhibition making, the exhibition resulted in displays of artworks powered by solar panels and recorded drawings of their low-emission transport journey from Berlin to Tokyo. This conversation revisits the challenges and successes of a pilot and unfolds upon its learnings for sustainable artistic and curatorial practices today.

Title: 'Art History for Tomorrow - History Woven through Curatorial Practice'

Description: Professor Yuko Hasegawa will discuss “Art History” in her last lecture at Tokyo University of the Arts. Professor Hasegawa studied at the university as a self-confessed ‘daughter of art history’ and has since entered the field of curation, working as a critic and curator. It has been a time of witnessing and being involved in the history of ‘art’ as it is produced and told before our eyes. l’histoire is a narrative, and each history of art is different depending on whose narrative it is. This lecture will be on ‘lived art history’ by Professor Hasegawa, who has been tracing the post-1980s trend from postmodernity to post-conceptual and post-Internet, and has been exchanging the past, history and the present, as well as the site and the audience through the exhibition and the exchange of actuality.

Professor Hasegawa studied at the university as a self-confessed ‘daughter of art history’ and has since entered the field of curation, working as a critic and curator. It has been a time of witnessing and being involved in the history of ‘art’ as it is produced and told before our eyes. l’histoire is a narrative, and each history of art is different depending on whose narrative it is. This lecture will be on ‘lived art history’ by Professor Hasegawa, who has been tracing the post-1980s trend from postmodernity to post-conceptual and post-Internet, and has been exchanging the past, history and the present, as well as the site and the audience through the exhibition and the exchange of actuality.
