Wi Di Mimba Wi 2026

We can't wait to reveal to you the recipient of the 2026 Wi Di Mimba Wi Prize and we cordially invite you to join us for the announcement around food and a conversation on art and listening practices.  

Wi Di Mimba Wi Prize is an initiative by AKB Stiftung and SAVVY Contemporary, established in 2021 as a long-term commission grant for artists of colour based in Germany. The selected artist receives a one year working grant of 30.000 EUR, as well as funds to support the creation of a new artwork and curatorial support. In addition to celebrating and rewarding an artist’s outstanding work, this grant is an invitation to relate, to collaborate and to create together – according to the philosophies and practices lived by SAVVY Contemporary. Our intent with this initiative is to build a strong relationship and support for artists of colour towards a richer and more diverse cultural landscape.
