Artist Nnena Kalu, whose hanging sculptures and life-sized drawings channel the gentle rhythmic energy of nests and cocoons, is the winner of the 2025 Turner Prize. She is the first artist with a learning disability to secure the coveted £25,000 (~$33,250) prize. Born in Glasgow in 1966 to Nigerian parents, Kalu lives and works in London, where she has been an artist-in-residence at actionspace, an organization that hosts artists with disabilities, for the past 25 years. The 59-year-old artist typically works by wrapping, coiling, and knotting pieces of fabric, rope, and even magnetic tape from VHS cassettes around a tube or other framework, achieving spirals, spools, and coils in sculptures that are both familiar and improvisational. She mirrors these gestures in her drawings, using pen, graphite, and pastels in circular motions. To read the full story by valentina.diliscia, visit the link in bio. . . .
