This year’s Kunsthalle Wien Prize is awarded to Abiona Esther Ojo (graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna) and Huda Takriti (graduate of the University of Applied Arts Vienna).

In a Zoom conversation the two artists talk to Joanna Warsza – curator, theorist, and juror in both juries – about their installations Die Magie steckt in jeder Strähne (There’s Magic in Every Strand) and of cities and private living rooms, on show in their joint exhibition Weaving Truths, Untangling Fictions at Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz.
