Sobey Art Award – Artists

Congratulations to Kapwani Kiwanga, winner of the 2018 Sobey Art Award!

“Kapwani Kiwanga creates a visual language to reconsider complexities and peripheries of history. She points to fissures in our human narrative. Using archival materials and referencing anthropology, agriculture, and urban design, among other sources; she reveals global effects of the colonial project. In so doing, she addresses hidden authoritarian structures, institutional devices, and power imbalances to help us see the world differently.”

- Statement of the 2018 Sobey Art Award Jury
