Antigua and Barbuda
Antigua and Barbuda's first participation in the Architecture Biennale explores environmental justice as a civil right, examining the impact of climate change on the island nation. The installation showcases innovative partnerships addressing environmental challenges and acts as a space for dialogue and conferences. It will result in a catalog of sustainability models and involve students from Antigua, Barbuda, Manhattan, and Venice

Fun, colourful and thought-provoking, it offers a tongue-in-cheek moment to the Arsenale sequence...
