Kapwani Kiwanga Representing Canada at the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia 2024

Partners in Art is proud to support one of Canada’s most important artists, Kapwani Kiwanga, who represented Canada at the 2024 Venice Biennale. This prestigious art exhibition brings together artists from around the world.

Kiwanga’s works across a range of mediums including sculpture, installation, video and performance. Her interdisciplinary approach to art making has received international attention for its astute ability to produce artworks that brilliantly investigate the structures, systems and narratives underlying today’s power asymmetries.
