The port of Santos

Ensemble

This ensemble within the Dockers Museum connects vintage photos of the harbor of Santos; the largest harbor of South-America. They present the region before the harbor was build.

Dockers' Museum was created as part of a project, in the knowledge that it would travel to São Paulo after Antwerp. At that time, the São Paulo Art Biennial was just a prospect, but it determine all the items in Dockers' Museum, which includes a series of picture postcards from Santos beach.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
