Alex Keim spent an intense week at the 57th Venice Biennial, experiencing one of the world’s oldest and most complex art shows. While there, she examined the representation of women as artists and subjects of art. She asked herself, “Is there a balance of representation and diversity on this world stage?” The answer may surprise you.
