The Venice Biennale opened for its professional pre-opening on Tuesday, and artists participating in the exhibition wasted no time making their voices heard. At noon, around 60 artists and a few dozen other participants gathered for an action protesting Israel’s participation in the event and protested in support of Palestine. For the action, titled “Solidarity Drone Chorus,” the artists gathered at the entrance to the Giardini and hummed “Drone Song,” a viral song composed by Gazan composer and music teacher Ahmed “Muin” Abu Amsha , in order to “sonically occupy space,” according to press materials. They then moved in a procession to the Central Pavilion.
