We refuse_d

From March 13 until June 7, 2026, M HKA presents we refuse_d, an international group exhibition featuring fifteen artists, including Walid Raad, Jumana Manna, Khalil Rabah, Taysir Batniji and DAAR, who confront the urgent theme of censorship and freedom of expression. The exhibition amplifies voices that have been ignored, cancelled or marginalised within the international artistic community. Guest curators Nadia Radwan and Vasif Kortun consciously focused on an accessible format, foregrounding personal stories. We refuse_d is the first of several international collaborations M HKA is engaging in this year. Originally organised by Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary, Antwerp is the exhibition’s first and only European stop.
