‘Dispatches from Kochi’ is an unfolding suite of texts by Meera Menezes about artists participating in the 2025 Kochi-Muziris Biennale curated by Nikhil Chopra with HH Art Spaces. Chopra's For the Time Being invests in friendship economies and invites audiences to embrace process as a methodology.

Like the biennale, ‘Dispatches from Kochi’ unfolds over the next few months. Each Dispatch will profile an artist participating in For the Time Being, giving readers an opportunity to learn about their concepts, processes and to hear how their work will unfold during the exhibition.

The Dispatches will culminate in guest editor Natalie King’s 2026 issue ‘Every Heart Sings’ focussed on coexistence, connectivity and artistic process that draws people together.
