Collection: Miatta Kawinzi

Miatta Kawinzi (born 1987, Nashville, TN) is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York, whose practice moves between photography, language, performance, and Black social space. Her work compresses intimacy, coded language, and collective identity into minimal image structures, often drawing on vernacular speech, gesture, and the visual economies of Black everyday life.

Kawinzi has been included in The Studio Museum in Harlem’s Harlem Postcards series and has exhibited within the broader ecosystem of post-2010 Black contemporary art practice in New York. Her work sits within a generation of artists rethinking photography, text, and performance as interconnected tools for articulating Black social experience and community.

This collection brings together printed matter and ephemera connected to Kawinzi’s practice and institutional presentations.
