Kenturah Davis wins the Joyce Alexander Wein Artist Prize

Kenturah Davis has won the 2025 Joyce Alexander Wein Artist Prize at The Studio Museum in Harlem.

Davis’ work oscillates between various facets of portraiture and design. Using text as a point of departure, the artist explores the fundamental role that language has in shaping how we understand ourselves and the world around us. This manifests in a variety of forms including drawings, photographs and sculpture. In 2025, Davis launched Accordion Press, a design lab that produces small editions of handmade artist books, works on paper and objects.
