"There are no tyrannies that would not try to limit art, because they can see the power of art. Art can tell the world things that cannot be shared otherwise. It is art that conveys feelings."

 - Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine

Dispatches is a postcard project organised by M HKA (Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp) for the Kyiv Biennial 2023. For the ‘distributed’ format of this edition of the biennial, taking place at venues across Ukraine and the EU, M HKA invited twelve artists to each produce a postcard design that can be found at all the venues of the biennial and beyond. It is a modest call to send dispatches from the front line of one’s own.

Dispatches is presented within the framework of the L’Internationale confederation of European museums, which seeks to express strength through solidarity.
Organised by Nav Haq, Associate Director, M HKA, and Vasyl Cherepanyn, Director, Visual Culture Research Center, Kyiv
