Analysis: A migrant ship with a tragic history is at the Venice Biennale. A new migrant boat sinking shows it’s more than a relic.
The 'Barca Nostra' fishing boat, which sank in the Mediterranean Sea in 2015 with 700 migrants on board, is displayed at the 58th Biennale of Arts exhibition in Venice.
It was a nightmarish disaster: Hundreds of bodies were later recovered; others never were. The identities of some of those who died on board remain unknown. Seeing the boat propped up as part of an art exhibition left Sami with “mixed feelings.” She was in Venice this week for the opening of another exhibit, one organized by UNHCR that features the work of refugee artists.
The ship’s presence at the biennale came after two tragedies: first, the shipwreck itself, and later, the death of Sebastiano Tusa, an Italian marine archaeologist who was killed when Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed en route from Addis Ababa to Nairobi in March, killing everyone on board.
