Venice Biennale: A Form of Cultural Heritage? A Dialogue from and within a Unique Urban Context

The Venice Biennale, one of the world's most significant art exhibitions, attracts over 800,000 visitors annually, yet its role as a form of cultural heritage remains debated. This study examines how the event interacts with its unique urban context—Venice, a UNESCO World Heritage city grappling with mass tourism and local displacement. It explores whether the Biennale can be considered a cultural asset while balancing contemporary relevance with historical legacy. The research employs qualitative analysis to interrogate this tension, offering insights into the broader implications for heritage preservation and urban identity.
