CultTech Association program @
Venice Biennale 2025
Venice, May 7-11th, 2025

A 4-day multifaceted event at the opening

of the Architecture Biennale, exploring

the future of contemporary culture

Why is it time to reflect and organise?

A persistent sense of urgency brought on by the polycrisis obscures the ability to plan ahead and innovate.
Everywhere, contemporary culture is being sacrificed in blindsighted cuts in public policies without consideration for the long-term impacts on society.
New generations of technologies are now impacting the cultural and creative industries with potential for disruption as well as reinvention and acceleration.
7th, 8th and 11th of May
