The Center for Persecuted Arts is a museum of discovery, dedicated exclusively to artists whose works and opportunities for development were blocked, prevented, and partially destroyed by the dictatorships of the last century and by totalitarian regimes up to the present day. It is an interdisciplinary museum, and its collection of visual art and literature tells of lost and neglected works of art, stories, and fates.

It could hardly be more relevant at this time, with anti-Semitism, racism and right-wing populism growing worldwide. The exhibition is on view from April 20 to November 24, 2024 at the Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista di Venezia on the occasion of the 60th Venice Biennale.
