The Fundació Joan Miró presents Changing States from 30 April to 13 September 2026, the first solo exhibition in Spain by Kapwani Kiwanga, winner of the ninth edition of the Joan Miró Prize in 2025. Planned specifically for the Fundació Joan Miró’s spaces, the exhibition brings together a selection of representative works from Kiwanga’s career, together with three newly produced pieces for the occasion.

Changing States is presented as the materialisation and culmination of this award following a year of work between the artist and the team from the Fundació Joan Miró.

Based on close dialogue between Kiwanga and Martina Millà, curator and Head of Exhibitions at the Fundació Joan Miró and curator of the exhibition, the show provides an opportunity to experience first-hand key works from the artist’s recent career, while also incorporating new pieces. The result is a reflection on the history of materials and commercial exchanges, territorial control and power structures that have defined the modern world from the first circumnavigations to the present day. Investigating the flow of material resources and forms of control that organise territories and bodies, Kiwanga’s practice unfolds throughout the exhibition route, while emphasising, as its title suggests, the changing states of materials, crops, technologies and power structures.
