Changing states between matter, power and time in Kapwani Kiwanga
07 May 2026

The Fundació Joan Miró presents Changing States , the first solo exhibition in Spain dedicated to Kapwani Kiwanga, artist recently awarded the Joan Miró Prize. The exhibition, open until September 13, articulates a journey that synthesizes some of the most relevant lines of research in her practice: the relationship between matter and power, colonial imaginaries and the forms of control that shape the spaces we inhabit.

Kiwanga's work, developed through installations, video, sound and performance, is constructed from a deeply investigative perspective. His work does not limit itself to representation, but rather interrogates the systems that order reality: from economic and political devices to the invisible infrastructures that condition the circulation of resources, bodies and knowledge. In this sense, his practice is situated at the intersection between Afrofuturism, the critique of the colonial legacy and the analysis of the collective beliefs that sustain contemporary structures.
