Überblicksführung Kyiv Biennial – A Bird That Cannot Land

On all five dates, our docents will provide an overview of the current exhibition *Kyiv Biennial –A Bird That Cannot Land*, including a general introduction to the exhibition’s concept and brief presentations of the individual floors.

Amid shifting political realities, *A Bird That Cannot Land* focuses on the concept of “Central and Eastern Europe” and its histories of conflict, coloniality, and imperialism. Recurring conflicts reopen the wounds of past crises and challenge our understanding of shared experience, language, and imagination. By linking post-Soviet Eastern Europe with Central and Southwest Asia as well as the Mediterranean region, the exhibition explores how we create meaning and experience a sense of belonging in times of war, uncertainty, and alienation. In realities where the continuity of meaning has been disrupted, the Biennale conceives of exile in and from the world as a central condition of contemporary life.
