OGR Torino are pleased to announce a new partnership with TBA21-Academy for the exhibition Re-Stor(y)ing Oceania, curated by artist Taloi Havini, which will open in Ocean Space spaces in Venice in the spring of 2024, in conjunction with the 60th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia.
The exhibition project-commissioned by TBA21-Academy and Artspace, Sydney and produced in collaboration with OGR Torino - includes two new site-specific installations commissioned from indigenous Pacific artists Latai Taumoepeau and Elisapeta Hinemoa Heta and will be on view from March 23 to October 13, 2024.

A hub for culture and innovation, OGR Torino have dialogue in its DNA and sees in collaboration with other art institutions the possibility of building bridges, developing novel ideas and creating an ecosystem capable of enhancing and growing cultural, social and economic capital.
With this vocation, after Pablo Bronstein's CAROUSEL in 2019 and ALLUVIUM by Ramin Haerizadeh, Rokni Haerizadeh and Hesam Rahmanian in 2022, OGR Torino choose to return to Venice and participate in the production of a new exhibition with TBA21-Academy and Artspace, Sydney, thus marking a new stage in their history of relationships and collaborations, continuing to support artists' research and confirming itself as a place of experimentation and renewal, rooted in its Turin territory but equally open to the world.

Curated by artist Taloi Havini, the Re-Stor(y)ing Oceania exhibition project juxtaposes performance, sculpture, poetry and movement through a curatorial vision guided by an ancestral method of call-and-response, which the artist employs as a means to seek solidarity and kinship in times of uncertainty, when real threats to life require us to slow our pace, oppose extraction and have reverence for the life of the Oceans.
