Future Generation Art Prize 2024
The PinchukArtCentre presents an exhibition of the 21 shortlisted artists for the 7th edition of the Future Generation Art Prize. Running from October 4, 2024, to January 19, 2025, the show gives a remarkable view on the artistic vision of the next generation of artists. Established by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation in 2009, the Future Generation Art Prize is a biannual global contemporary art prize to discover, recognise and give long-term support to a future generation of artists all over the world.
For the exhibition at the PinchukArtCentre in Kyiv, the artists are creating new works or showing their recent projects. Coming from different countries including Ukraine, the diversity of the artistic approaches reflects the global origins of the participants. The exhibition brings their unique cultural perspectives and practices to engage with today’s pressing issues. Local histories and mythologies are unfolding in an attempt to overcome historical trauma and the long-lasting effects of wars, as well as the process of liberation from the oppression of colonial influence. A defining aspect of this year’s nominees is their deep sensitivity to the inner ties that unite families and communities, and their exploration of collective actions for solidarity and healing from loss. In their works, the artists remain committed to examining identity, weaving together conversations with past generations and the landscapes that shape them.
The shortlist of the Future Generation Art Prize 2024 includes Sinzo Aanza (33, Congo), Tara Abdullah Mohammed Sharif (27, Iraq), Julian Abraham ‘Togar’ (36, Indonesia), Andrius Arutiunian (32, Lithuania), Salim Bayri (31, Morocco), Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro (27, Brazil), Giulia Cenci (35, Italy), Nolan Oswald Dennis (35, South Africa), Yasmine El Meleegy (32, Egypt), Bekhbaatar Enkhtur (29, Mongolia), Veronika Hapchenko (28, Ukraine), Dana Kavelina (28, Ukraine), Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien (33, France), Dina Mimi (29, Palestine), Sandra Mujinga (34, Norway), Hira Nabi (36, Pakistan), Ipeh Nur (30, Indonesia), Ashfika Rahman (35, Bangladesh), Buhlebezwe Siwani (36, South Africa), Zhang Xu Zhan (35, Taiwan) and Ziyang Wu (33, China).
The jury will determine the winners of the main prize and special prizes during the Future Generation Art Prize exhibition at the PinchukArtCentre in Kyiv. Prizes are awarded at a ceremony in October 2024.
The main prize winner receives a US $100,000 split between a $60,000 cash prize and a $40,000 investment in their practice. A further $20,000 is awarded as a special prize/s between up to five artists at the discretion of the jury for supporting projects that develop their artistic practice.
Curators: Inga Lāce, Oleksandra Pogrebnyak and Daria Shevtsova.
