Venice Biennale jury resigns amid row over Russian entry

The Venice Biennale's international jury resigned Thursday, nine days before the art fair opens, after announcing it would bar prizes for countries accused of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court, including Russia and Israel. The decision sparked tensions with Italy's Culture Ministry, which opposed Russian participation following the 2022 Ukraine invasion. Visitors will now select award winners instead.
