Artes Mundi 10, Presenting Partner: Bagri Foundation, will prove a watershed moment for Artes Mundi as we simultaneously celebrate the legacies of the past twenty years working with some of the most exceptional artistic voices of recent times while looking ahead to ensuring we remain relevant for the next twenty years.
To mark this 20th anniversary, the AM10 exhibition will for the first time be presented across Wales at five nationwide venues, National Museum Cardiff and Chapter in Cardiff; Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea, Oriel Davies Gallery in Newtown and Mostyn in Llandudno, providing even greater opportunities for national and international audiences to experience the show. The AM10 exhibition will comprise significant solo presentations of new and existing work of seven of the world’s most important international contemporary artists.

Across Wales, individual presentations by each artist will collectively examine ideas concerning connections to land, contested territories and histories, the questioning of nationhood and its environmental impact, and of how these ideas challenge preconceived notions of identity and belonging.
Alongside this, our Public Programme will provide distinctive, creative and imaginative opportunities for all regardless of age, experience or background. Centring creativity and culture within the broader context of everyday life, is key to the core proposition of Artes Mundi. The extensive suite of free events and activities will be delivered by a dedicated team both online and in person, and will broadly comprise:
- Talks: ‘At the table with …’ online in-conversation panel discussions with each artist and other high-profile international artists, curators, writers and historians
- 360 degree interactive digital tours of artists’ exhibitions alongside photographic documentation at all five venues
- Public, expert and community led exhibition tours creating access for all, especially including Deaf and disabled audiences through BSL, Audio Description, close captioning and sub-titling
- Podcasts comprising audio recordings of each panel talk available on our website and those of our partner venues, plus global platforms
- Creative writing commissions published in our online journal, including original Welsh content
- Dance and music events hosted across Wales that connect and respond to the exhibition
- A Schools programme, family workshops and other accessibility led events and activities
- A Mentorship programme for Welsh artists involving biennial artists, curators, historians and thinkers

The winner of the Artes Mundi 10 Prize is multidisciplinary artist Taloi Havini (born Bougainville, Nakas/Hakö tribe; lives and works in Australia).
Taloi Havini employs a research practice informed by her matrilineal ties to her land and communities in Bougainville. This manifests in works created using a range of media including photography, audio–video, sculpture, immersive installation and print. She curates and collaborates across multi-art platforms using archives, working with communities and developing commissions locally and internationally. Knowledge—production, transmission, inheritance, mapping and representation are central themes in Havini’s work where she examines these in relation to land, architecture and place.
