Joan Miró Prize
The Fundació Joan Miró, with support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and CUPRA, has awarded the 2025 Joan Miró Prize to the artist Kapwani Kiwanga (Hamilton, Canada, 1978) in recognition of a unique artistic career that combines academic research, social commentary and a great capacity for creating complex and innovative visual forms.

AJ Small Projects Award
Three practices have jointly won the 2025 AJ Small Projects Award, with judges recognising the separate strengths of all three winning schemes in terms of environmental sustainability, social purpose and materiality. Material Cultures working with Central Saint Martins won for Clearfell House developed as a new home for Forestry England in Dalby Forest, Yorkshire. OEB Architects won for Lewisham Loggias, a loft conversion of a terraced house. WonKy won for The Clearing located in Lesnes Abbey Woods, which judges said was ‘resourceful’ and ‘playful’ thanks to its use of a large parachute forming an all-weather outdoor classroom with covered dappled lighting.

Sandra Singh
First Prize
Sandra Singh, a German-Indian visual artist and photographer living and working in Munich, is the winner of the First Prize of the IKOB – Feminist Art Prize 2025. Singh’s winning work VIRTUAL WAR (on Women) is a multimedia art and research project that deals with misogyny on the internet and its consequences in real life. It sheds light on the ‘manosphere,’ known for its anti-feminism and links to far-right groups, and aims to educate and portray the current discourse surrounding it. The work focuses on incel culture and posts in dedicated online forums, which also translate into pop culture references and academic studies.
