About the Exhibition:
Contemporary artists from around the world bring new work to the vaunted Carnegie International, Pittsburgh’s signature show. Organized every four years, the Carnegie International is the longest‑running exhibition of international art in North America .
The 59th edition, titled If the word we, is the most collaborative and far‑reaching to date. Curated by Ryan Inouye, Danielle A. Jackson, and Liz Park, the exhibition features 61 artists and collectives from around the world—including a record 36 newly commissioned works created specifically for the show .
The title is drawn from a commissioned catalogue essay by writer Haytham el‑Wardany. It approaches the first‑person plural “we” as an open and evolving proposition—shaped by listening, translation, and transformation—rather than a unified subject.
