Turner Prize 2025 nominee, Rene MatiÄâs Artist in Profile film released by @tate.
Rene MatiÄ (b. 1997, Peterborough, UK) is a London-based artist and writer whose practice spans across photography, film, and sculpture, converging in a meeting place they describe as ârude(ness)â - an evidencing and honouring of the in-between.
Nominated for their solo exhibition AS OPPOSED TO THE TRUTH at CCA Berlin, their artwork questions identity, society and how we find a sense of belonging.
Created amid a backdrop of right-wing populism, violence and political hypocrisy, AS OPPOSED TO THE TRUTH explores how, despite this, people can âhold on to one another, care for each other, and learn to live with vulnerability,â as they explain.
The Turner Prize 2025 exhibition recently opened at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, Bradford, UK.

Lean hard into the soft.
What does successful leadership actually look like? Not simply the hard measures we traditionally use to define success, but the softer things that create the conditions for it - trust, kindness, graciousness, strong relationships, the confidence to disagree, and finding pleasure in what we do.
After nine years leading @tate as its first female Director, Maria Balshaw (@mariabalshaw) reflected on a career shaped by working closely with artists - and on the trust, risk-taking, listening and generosity those relationships have taught her about leadership.
Joined by artist Rene MatiÄ (@rene.matic), in conversation with PĂ©jĂș Oshin (@pejuoshin) the discussion explored what it takes not just to lead, but to create the conditions in which other people can thrive.
Find the people and mentors who will help you thrive and help those coming after you to do the same. That idea is the foundation of AWITAâs Support A Sister. You can support a sister and help another woman access the networks, mentoring and opportunities that can help her thrive.

1 minute to dive into Rene MatiÄâs world đ·
âMum with Cigaretteâ and âDad with Cigaretteâ explore the chemical reaction and coming together of blackness and whiteness in the darkroom to create an image and a world. Part of the series âIdols, Lovers, Mothers, Friendsâ, these silver gelatin prints meditate on interracial relationships and proximity to whiteness. Linked by the act of smoking, the works act as a metaphor for how peace, harmony, havoc, and destruction can coexist within a single moment.

Huge Congratulations to Rene MatiÄ (@rene.matic) on winning the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2026!
The exhibition will continue to be on view at The Photographerâs Gallery in London (@thephotographersgallery) until the 7th of June 2026.
Featuring newly produced photographs, installations and sound pieces, MatiÄ was nominated for their solo exhibition AS OPPOSED TO THE TRUTH, at CCA Berlin. MatiÄâs diaristic, snapshot-like photography captures everyday moments with poetic intimacy. The images, combined with collected objects, film and sound, form a vivid and layered portrait of contemporary life.âŻThrough the layered materials, symbols, and storytelling, the installation considers how intimate connectionsâoften fragile or elusiveâcan become acts of resistance and form new meaning.
It is a great honour to work together with MatiÄ as they continue to contribute to the discourse and reflect on the fractured realities we inhabit through their work.
Rene MatiÄ was shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2026 alongside Jane Evelyn Atwood, Weronika GÄsicka, and Amak Mahmoodian.
