With the participation of Joana da Conceição and curated by Andrea Bell (NYC), Isabella Indolfi (Italy), and Julia Hartmann (Austria), Postcards from Home features the work of 11 artists at Residency Unlimited (RU), in Brooklyn, New York (USA).

In March 2020, the majority of RU's international resident artists and curators were forced to return to their respective countries of origin due to the looming dangers of the Coronavirus Pandemic. In light of quarantine efforts and closed borders, the RU curators-in-residence at the time asked the artists in their cohort to send a postcard from the confinement of their homes for this virtual exhibition, prompted by the questions: How are you experiencing isolation? What do you miss and long for? Has this situation changed your art? The postcard serves as a metaphor for visual communication that traverses time and space to connect people with each other.
