Venice, a key node of the Silk Road, was deeply intertwined with the Mongol Empire through trade, diplomacy, and artistic exchange, most famously through Marco Polo (1254–1324) at the court of Khubilai Khan (1215–1294). The Mongolia Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale, “Entanglements: Connectivities Across Borders”, revisits these ties as living legacies in contemporary art. Building on the Pavilion’s theme, the conference explores entanglements—geographic, political, environmental, and ontological—as a lens on power, displacement, human and nonhuman ontologies, exchange, and mobility.

Organized and funded by Indiana University, in collaboration with Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
