“The Artist’s Choice” is now live.
Last week, I went to the pre-opening of the 61st Venice @labiennale , AKA the erupting volcano, to report for @theartofseeing_magazine . It felt less like an art event and more like a mirror of the planet’s collective nervous system.
First came the devastating death of curator Koyo Kouoh a year ago. Then the political rupture. Protestors questioned the role of institutions during war and humanitarian crisis. The Biennale jury resigned. Artists protested. Pavilions temporarily closed.
And amid all of this, the art felt even more alive.
I wrote about the works and moments that stayed with me most, including the Austrian Pavilion, @alfredojaar at the Arsenale, the Italian Pavilion, Canadian Pavilion, Nordic Pavilion, @chrislevine , and my own light ritual ‘Letter To Earth’ in Venice with @cramerstgallery

Letter To Earth is a light ritual transforming words into light frequencies - projected in the hidden gardens in Venice as part of an evolving global public artwork that began at Tate Modern, London.
As we honour David Attenborough’s 100th birthday, in its essence the letter holds; an apology, a prayer and a call for peace.
The project will continue travelling to sites of environmental, cultural, and spiritual significance across the world, carrying collective messages for the Earth.
Where should Letter To Earth travel next? 🌍
Letter To Earth In Venice by Lauren Baker, curated by Christina Zahra & presented by @cramerstgallery on 6 May 2026, Calle De La Testa, Venezia. In collab with @earthsonicproject and @in_place_of_war

An evening of art, conversation, and quiet connection.
Nessa’s Salon of the Unruly brings together artists, music, and culture in an intimate Soho setting, a space to discover, reflect, and connect.
In our latest conversation, we sit down with Leevar Spies to explore a practice rooted in memory. From his upbringing in South Africa to life in London, his work blends colour and texture to capture nostalgia and a deep sense of place, seen in his latest collection, Rooted.
Join us on Friday April 24 for the next edition, in collaboration with Nimi. Featuring artist Emily ‘Your Mum’ Stevens, with music from Iraina Mancini from 7pm.

A look back at our Post Human VII panel talk with Sophie Javadi (Thames Carpets), Helen Beard, James Massiah and Tobias Ross-Southall. Hosted by the wonderful Bakul Patki. Exhibited at Cramer St Gallery, Marylebone, London.
We discussed the techniques and concept behind the 100% natural material rugs from northern Iran. In a divided world, this project affirms the power of art to unite. Transcending politics and borders and weaving communities together through a shared vision.
Holding this project even closer right now.
Big love for the photos and video
