Author: Kiwanga, KapwaniUnveiling the pervasive impact of power asymmetries by placing narratives from the past in dialogue with contemporary realities, Kapwani Kiwanga's art is re search-driven, instigated by marginalised or forgotten histories, and articulated across a range of mediums. This first monograph on the artist documents her entire body of work, her central fields of research, and includes contributions from thinkers in many fields – drawing a multidisciplinary and polyphonic portrait of Kiwanga’s practice.The fields of research integral to Kiwanga's work (and explored in this volume) range from disciplinary architecture and Afrofuturism to her singular takes on Minimalism and political and spiritual beliefs. The monograph was published in parallel with the artist's first major exhibition in the US (at the New Museum, Summer 2022), and includes contributions by art historians, art critics, philosophers, curators and anthropologistsISBN 9783037645673.
