We are happy to announce the BSL Tours with Artes Mundi for second time running!.
The UK’s leading biennial exhibition and international contemporary art prize is delighted to announce exhibition details for its eleventh edition. Artes Mundi 11 with presenting partner Bagri Foundation (AM11) will feature six international contemporary visual artists and take place across Wales from 24 October 2025 to 1 March 2026. Following the success of AM10, AM11 will again be presented nationally at five venue partners, with Aberystwyth Arts Centre participating for the first time. The winner of the prestigious £40,000 Artes Mundi Prize – the UK’s largest contemporary art prize – will be announced at an award reception at the National Museum Cardiff on 15 January 2026.
All artists will be represented in a group presentation at National Museum Cardiff, acting as a central focal hub including ambitious new productions and major museum loans, that speak to the fundamental core of each artist’s practice. The group show will allow thematic dialogue to be revealed between each artist, rooted in personal histories and storytelling that examine issues of loss, memory, and migration with consequent trauma and environmental cost. This will be augmented by in-depth solo exhibitions across the country.
The solo presentation locations for AM11 are: Anawana Haloba and Sawangwongse Yawnghwe at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Aberystwyth; Sancintya Mohini Simpson at Chapter, Cardiff; Kameelah Janan Rasheed at Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea; and Jumana Emil Abboud and Antonio Paucar at Mostyn, Llandudno.
