Venezuela’s Culture Ministry inaugurated earlier this month the second edition of the country’s anti-imperialist art exhibition, “Biannual of the South” at the Armando Reverón Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas. 

Premiering for the first time in 2015, this year’s exhibition is dedicated to the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad & Tobago under the title of “Peoples in Resistance”.
