Bold Beauty Project Announces Exhibition at Palazzo Mora Venice, Italy

MIAMI - EntSun -- The European Cultural Centre Italy (ECC) announce the theme and highlights of the biennale contemporary art exhibition Personal Structures 2026, a contemporary art exhibition showcasing global artists and fostering dialogue on personal, social, and cultural growth.

Sara Danieli, Head of Art for ECC Italy, explains, "In an era characterized by profound global transformations, Personal Structures – Confluences explores how personal narratives build ties with collective ones, shaping an ever-evolving cultural landscape."

Bold Beauty Project (BBP), a nonprofit based in Miami, FL, is honored to have been invited to participate in Personal Structures – Confluences. BBP's mission and mantra, "DISABILITY becomes BEAUTY becomes ART becomes CHANGE," exemplify the exhibition's message and aligns perfectly with the theme of Personal Structures – Confluences.

Concurrent with the 61^st Venice Biennale, EEC Italy features over 150 artists from 30+ countries gathered in the historic venues of Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora, and Marinaressa Gardens, helping to transform Venice into a dynamic laboratory of visions, practices, and languages.

BBP photographs exhibited at Palazzo Mora include the following works:
Cynthia by Ali Miranda; Erin by Donn Thompson; Evgenia by Ignacio Irazoqui; Frances by Femke Twari; Gabriela by Lisa Nalven; Johnnie Mae by Al Diaz; Joy by Robert G. Zuckerman; Letitia by Alexandra Vivas; Ronit by Susana Aramburu; Rosa by Natalie Sofer; Shelly by Jeffrey Salter; Sophia by Raquel Oliviera; Teresa by Kelly Mahoney and Ylena by Maria Socarras.

As BBP's first foray into Europe, participating in Personal Structures – Confluences extends the goal of wider recognition and replication. In addition to exhibitions around the USA, BBP has had international exhibitions in Panama City, Panama and Cape Town, South Africa.

In the last several years, BBP outreach to universities has fostered broader perspectives, youthful enthusiasm, and creative engagement with exhibitions at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Columbia University, Florida International University (FIU), University of Miami, and Yale. A current Retrospective Exhibition was a collaboration between FIU/Miami Beach Urban Studios and BBP.
