The Hope Forum 2026

The Hope Forum is ART 2030’s bi-annual, high-impact convening held alongside the Venice Biennale, bringing together leaders from art, science, business, philanthropy, and policy to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).


The 2026 edition, Archipelagos of Hope, amplifies global conversations on sustainability by mobilizing the international art sector. Taking place in Venice this May, it coincides with the opening of In Minor Keys, the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.

Édouard Glissant, a key 20th-century thinker, described the archipelago as a cluster of islands in which each retains its distinct identity while continuously shaping one another through relation and exchange. His vision of a decentralized, interconnected world feels especially urgent amid today’s planetary crises.


Echoing Glissant’s archipelagic thinking, art holds the power to reconfigure how we understand and inhabit reality. The Hope Forum 2026 positions art as a bridge - connecting voices across disciplines, geographies, and divides at a time of increasing fragmentation.
