During the pandemic year, in which social distancing has led to a drastic disconnection of communities from their collective spaces, CONEXIÓN has transformed into a virtual place, becoming a true interdisciplinary platform with the participation of numerous Dominican professional figures. Invited to reflect on the question ‘How will we live together?’, the pavilion is now considered a laboratory of ideas for building a sustainable future by reimagining the collective spaces of our coexistence.
The Ministry of Culture of the Dominican Republic has chosen the CONEXIÓN project by the artist architect LiLeón (Lidia León Cabral) and art critic Roberta Semeraro to represent the Dominican Republic pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. The pavilion is organized by the Ministry of Culture of the Dominican Republic, the LiLeón Foundation, and the RO.SA.M. Cultural Association, with the patronage of the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic, and the Embassy of the Dominican Republic in Italy, and supported by Banco BHD León.
