The curator of the exhibition “Playground: Artifacts to interact” developed a brief discussion about the concept and experience that visitors will have in the Peruvian pavilion, located in the Venice Arsenal.
The project was conceived around urban problems and the appropriation of public spaces that have grown in different regions of the South American country, especially in the city of Lima, with a main element: the bars, which basically mean fear.
The proposal focused on breaking this fear, through the transformation of bars into new artifacts, which encourage interaction through play and improve the relationship between citizens, with the seesaws being emblematic elements, where two people find a balance to be able to sit down.
In this way, it is evident that, through balance and play, trust emerges, a feeling that is fundamental to generate harmony and a fluid interaction between human beings.
The ambiance of the exhibition includes dissuasive signs, as well as a main bar at the entrance that marks the beginning of the experience, complemented by visual and sound elements.
COLLABORATIVE WORK
The participation of the South American country has been the responsibility of the Peruvian Cultural Board since 2016, an institution in charge of the production and organization of the pavilion, with the participation of PROMPERÚ. In addition, it has the support of the sponsors Wiese Foundation and El Comercio newspaper, and from the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and the University of Lima.
Access to the Peruvian pavilion takes place from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with prior reservation and purchase of tickets .
The 17th International Exhibition of Architecture of the Venice Biennial will be held until November 21st, and its central theme is "How will we live together?"

Virtual Installation The Kuutar Garden by Jakob Kudsk Steensen Opens in Oulu, Finland, in September10.9.2026 13:37:00 CEST | Press release
Deep underneath the city centre of Oulu, Danish artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen’s site-specific installation The Kuutar Garden comes to life on 18 September as part of the Oulu2026 European Capital of Culture programme, featuring musical collaborations with Danny L Harle and vocalist yeule. “The Kuutar Garden evokes a new ecological reality, unrooted from our physical boundaries, into a rhythmic and ghost-like world nurtured by a moonlight illuminated botanical garden. I hope audiences feel connected to the emergence of new worlds, and the caring of overlooked plant life,” says Steensen. The Kuutar Garden emerges from over four years of ecological fieldwork within the Botanical Garden of the University of Oulu, one of the world's northernmost botanic gardens, where Steensen bore witness to subarctic winters set against the artificial glow of greenhouse architecture. From this encounter, Steensen has conjured a virtual replica of that architecture, carrying audiences into an otherworldly re
New Circularity Data: Nine Out of Ten Returned Items Lose Value for Retailers10.9.2026 13:33:00 CEST | Press release
New research finds 86% of retailers have established circularity practices, yet only 9% resell more than half of returned products at full price New research from ReBound Returns and Advanced Supply Chain (ASC) has revealed a gap between retailers’ circularity ambitions and the value they are recovering from returned products. The Circularity Index, based on research among 150 senior leaders at mid-to-large UK and European retailers, found that 86% have an established approach to circularity in returns, with practices including resale, refurbishment, repair and recycling regularly used across the business. For 27%, circularity is a core part of how returns are managed. However, translating those strategies into commercial value remains difficult. On average, 12% of returned items generate no value, while only 9% of retailers resell more than half of their returned products at full price. There is also a significant opportunity still to be captured. 82% of retailers believe that up to h

New WSJ Intelligence Survey Highlights the Human Skills Companies Must Protect as AI Enters the Workplace10.9.2026 13:00:00 CEST | Press release
The Cognition Index Research Report, launched in partnership with Philip Morris International, warns of “Cognitive Atrophy” and a growing AI trust gap in the workplace Philip Morris International (PMI) (NYSE: PM) and WSJ Intelligence, the in-house thought leadership consultancy for The Wall Street Journal's commercial sales organization, today unveiled The Cognition Index Research Report, a comprehensive study exploring the evolving role of human cognition in an AI-driven workplace. Surveying more than 2,500 business professionals across the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, South Africa, and Brazil, the report reveals that while business professionals are increasingly optimistic about AI’s role in improving decision-making, they continue to see human judgment, ethics, critical thinking and empathy as essential capabilities that must be actively protected and developed as AI becomes embedded in workplace workflows. “Human cognition is a bit like a muscle: use it or lose it,” says M
