Part 1 | Live from Venice Biennale: Andrea Peña and Bárbara Sánchez-Kane
In a world seen through screens, how do you bring human connection back into focus? Choreographer Andrea Peña and designer Bárbara Sánchez-Kane share their perspectives in this episode. The two Latin American artists—and 2026 Next Prize winners—join Yana Peel, President of Arts, Culture & Heritage at CHANEL for a live conversation at the 61st Venice Biennale. They reflect on pivotal moments—including Peña’s move from American Ballet Theatre to industrial design and Sánchez-Kane’s Prêt-à-Patria performance—and discuss the importance of making space for contradictions.
