The National Pavilion UAE has launched an open call for proposals to curate the United Arab Emirates’ Pavilion at the 20th International Architecture Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia, set to take place from May to November 2027 in Venice, Italy.
Architects, designers, artists, historians, and researchers with experience working or studying in the UAE or the broader MENASA (Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia) region are invited to submit concept proposals that tell an untold story from the UAE’s architectural discourse. Proposals should reflect the Biennale Architettura’s mission as a global platform for the exchange of ideas, and present a compelling curatorial narrative rooted in local, regional, and global contexts—as well as in dialogue with previous National Pavilion UAE exhibitions.
