Organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao Government and implemented by the Macao Museum of Art, “Jacone’s Polyphony, Exhibition from Macao, China: 61^st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia” was officially inaugurated in Venice, Italy, on 8 May 2026. Jointly curated by Feng Yan and Cindy Ng Sio Ieng, the exhibition takes the life trajectory of the early Qing‑dynasty painter, poet and Catholic convert Wu Li (known in Portuguese as Jacone) and the cultural confluence of Macao as its central narrative thread. It brings together three emerging Macao‑based artists – Eric Fok Hoi Seng, O Chi Wai and Veronica Lei Fong Ieng – who, through a contemporary lens, deconstruct and re‑imagine this legacy, focusing on overlooked fragments of history. The project resonates in harmony with the overarching theme of this year’s Biennale, “In Minor Keys”, and offers a compelling meditation on cross‑cultural understanding and fusion within the context of globalisation.
