Artist Talk with Kim Mupangilai: Cross-Cultural Identity, Heritage, and Form

The Contemporary Architecture and Design Series will feature talks by a select group of innovative designers who will share their practice and explore design today.
Kim Mupangilaï (Belgian–Congolese, b. 1989) is an interior architect, sculptural furniture designer, and educator based in New York, where she teaches at Parsons School of Design. Her practice examines cross-cultural identity, heritage, and the sociopolitical conditions embedded in art history and design through material-driven research and form. Her work has been exhibited internationally and acquired by institutions including the Vitra Design Museum, Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Denver Art Museum.
