Victoria Miro has announced that its presentation at Frieze London (Booth D12, 14–18 October 2026) centres on Kudzanai-Violet Hwami, with recent paintings and a sculpture shown in a special installation conceived by the artist herself. The booth is staged in celebration of her inclusion in the landmark British Art Show 10: A Chorus of Strangers.

Hwami, a Zimbabwean-born painter, builds large-scale collaged works that collapse past into present and 'here' into 'there', weaving references to Shona cosmology, Christianity, Afrofuturism and magical realism. Her densely layered images, often incorporating found photographs and printed matter, address diasporic identity and queer life in a vivid, confrontational register. The Guardian, reviewing British Art Show 10, awarded the exhibition four stars and singled out Hwami's mixed-media works for their ambitious fusion of personal and collective histories.

British Art Show 10, curated by Ekow Eshun, is the landmark tenth edition of the touring survey of contemporary British art. Titled A Chorus of Strangers, it explores human connection and the figure of the Other in divided times through a large roster of artists, and Hwami's inclusion marks her arrival in the mainstream of the British institutional survey circuit.

Presented as a special installation conceived by the artist herself, the booth combines recent paintings with a sculpture — a format that gives Hwami control over how the works meet the fair's transient audience. The five-day run in Regent's Park, 14–18 October, places her new work before collectors, curators and critics at the peak of the London art calendar.
