This is a presentation that invites you to connect with the visceral qualities of Home at this global architectural event.

The Creative Directors of the Australia Pavilion will present their vision of HOME for the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale. Led by Dr. Michael Mossman, Emily McDaniel, and Jack Gillmer-Lilley, alongside a Creative Sphere of First Nations architects and practitioners, the exhibition experience explores the question of “what does Home mean to you” through interactions with memory, sensation, relationships, and future.

Blending the overall Biennale theme of Intelligens, Natural, Artificial, Collective, the Creative Sphere prioritises Australian Indigenous concepts of dialogue, yarning and preservation as mediators of cultures and community practices.

Through the lens of Country, this is the first time an all First Nations design team demonstrates the cultural, philosophical perspectives that has enabled the world's oldest living cultures to survive and thrive at the Venice Architecture Biennale Australia Pavilion. The exhibition will transform the Australia Pavilion into a Home—a place for cultural exchange. Where visitors engage with the narratives of Country and their own concepts of Home.
