The curator and artists of Russia's pavilion at the Venice Biennale have resigned over the war in Ukraine, organisers said recently, hailing their "act of courage".
Kirill Savchenkov, Alexandra Sukhareva and curator Raimundas Malasauskas "resigned from their positions, thereby cancelling the participation in the 59th International Art Exhibition" which runs from April 23 to November 27, organisers said.
