Belgian-Congolese interior architect Kim Munpangalï is a 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. Presented as part of the the Contemporary Architecture and Design Series.

Mupangilaï will discuss how cross-cultural identity and heritage are represented in her furniture and material designs.
