In its first edition in 1993 it emerged as one of the main exhibitions of Latin American art, including the participation of some of the most expressive contemporary artists from the region. Since the beginning VentoSul has had an itinerant character, which was kept in the following editions. In the first editions, the VentoSul exhibition took place in important cultural spaces in São Paolo, Rio de Janeiro amongst other, and more than a hundred artists, selected by established Latin American art critics, participated.

For the fourth edition in 2007 Fabio Margalhães, Fernando Cocchiarale and Ticio Escobar were selected as general trustees.

The Havana Biennial was established in 1984, long before the worldwide boom of Biennials in the Mid-nineties.

1984. Havana Biennial

Its first edition was focused on artists from Latin America and the Caribbean who live or have their cultural roots there. Since the 2nd Havana Biennial in 1986, the focus was extended to include Africa and Asia, thus becoming the most important meeting place for artists from "non-Western" countries. For this reason, Universes in Universe dedicated particular attention to this event several times. For the 10th Havana Biennial in the year 2009, the organizers have announced a more open concept, which means that the restriction to invite artists from the so-called "Third World" will be officially lifted.

Dak’Art: AFRICAN BIENNALE (Senegal)

Since 1992, the Dak’Art, the Biennial of the Contemporary African Art has been a platform for contemporary art with cultural roots in Africa.

1992. Dak’Art: AFRICAN BIENNALE (Senegal)

The Biennale of Contemporary African Art aims at being a space of different prejudice-free visions on approaches and inspirations to analyse in relation to a plurality of influences from both immediate and farther sources. The environment itself is today characterised by its relative spatial limitations in spite of the strong influence of the immediate social environment. Dak’Art provides an occasion to fight the propensity to be prejudiced about contemporary art as expressed by some African creators by giving the floor to a different category of experts working at other levels of the visual arts world that refuse to confine themselves within some certainties and are concerned about a certain ethic.

In its maturation phase, Dak’Art is no doubt a relevant cultural proposal for the African Union. It has enabled: Australia. 1973. Biennale of Sydney. 1990. ADELAIDE BIENNALE. Asia. 1991. RIWAQ BIENNALE. About When we began in 1991, we recognized the challenge before us as we tried to understand the world of cultural heritage.

1991. RIWAQ BIENNALE

Harnessing the energy and skills of students, architects, archaeologists, and historians, Riwaq took on the imposing work of the National Register of Historic Buildings: a 13-year project (1994-2007) resulting in the publication of 3 impressive volumes that include detailed information, maps and photos of some 420 villages in 16 districts of the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. Other projects may not have had the same grandiose vision, but certainly they boast valuable impacts. For example, shifting the conception of conservation from an expensive and elitist activity into a meaningful skill that sustains livelihoods, Riwaq's “Job Creation Through Conservation” has successfully transformed cultural heritage into an important economic tool.
