Press release
National Participation - Seychelles (Republic of)
Seychelles will once again work with the European Cultural Centre (ECC) and its president Rene Rietmeyer, in order to utilise exhibition space within the Palazzo Mora, which is administered by the ECC. The exhibition will be commissioned by CSA’s executive director, Emmanuel D’Offay, while logistics support will be provided by Ilaria Isola and the CSA team.
Curator Kennedy explained that ideas and concepts have already been developed for the exhibition as they have already been meeting with the three artists working in Seychelles in both group and solo settings, as well as worked with the artist currently based in Australia, through online platforms. This preparation will continue up to the installation of Seychelles’ national pavilion next year.
There were 15 expressions of interest and the Creative Seychelles Biennale (Venice) committee selected four to represent the country at the 60th edition. They are Jude Ally who is a highly regarded expressionist/colourist artist, Ryan Chetty who was the overall winner of the 2022 Seychelles Biennale of Contemporary Art, Danielle Freakly who is a highly regarded Seychellois-Australian installation/performance artist, and Juliette Zelime aka Jadez who was the winner of the best emerging artist prize at the 2022 Seychelles Biennale of Contemporary Art.
