The Kyiv Biennial is a nomadic, international project that interweaves artistic, political, and social issues. ›A Bird That Cannot Land‹, its chapter at KW, takes shape as an extensive live and discursive program and a large-scale exhibition spanning the entire building, contributing to the biennial’s reflections through contemporary art, sound, and exchange.
Situated in shifting political realities, ›A Bird That Cannot Land‹ centers on the notion of a ›Middle-East-Europe‹ and its histories of dispute, coloniality, and imperialism. The exhibition and its live and discursive events turn to questions on how we make meaning and experience belonging in times marked by war, uncertainty, and estrangement. Moving through realities where the continuity of meaning is broken, the biennial understands exile in and from the world as a central condition of contemporary life.
Over 40 intergenerational and international voices from Berlin and beyond reflect lived experiences echoing rupture, migrant memories, their affective architectures, and the historical traces they leave behind.
