Goodman Gallery congratulates Kapwani Kiwanga on being awarded the 2025 Joan Miró Prize
The artist Kapwani Kiwanga is the winner of the ninth edition of one of the world’s most prestigious and consolidated contemporary art prizes, awarded this year by the Fundació Joan Miró with the support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and CUPRA.
The jury highlighted Kapwani Kiwanga’s career for her ability to translate complex historical and social processes with precision and sensitivity into formally refined and conceptually rigorous installations that establish a deep dialogue with the exhibition space and the values that inspire Joan Miró’s legacy.
Residing in Europe for over two decades and currently based between Berlin and Paris, the Canadian and French artist has developed an interdisciplinary artistic practice based on archival research to rethink hegemonic narratives that have defined the course of global history.
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), one of the world’s leading philanthropic institutions, and CUPRA, the car brand that inspires the world from Barcelona, are the official co-sponsors of this ninth edition of the Joan Miró Prize.
The prize is accompanied by a solo exhibition at Fundació Joan Miró in 2026.
