Biography
Multidisciplinary artist Amina Agueznay (b. 1963, Casablanca) blends elements of structure, reinterpreted traditional mediums and collective participation in artworks that vary in scale from minute to monumental. After studying architecture in the US, she returned to Morocco to conduct extensive research into traditional artisanal design practices. Her installation artworks—including Skin (2011), Noise (2016) and Curriculum Vitae (2021)—are often based on collaborative projects, in an ongoing dialogue with artisans. Combining architectural and archaeological form with the work of the hand, her body of work evokes the essential art of transmission. Her recent exhibitions include Our Land Just Like a Dream, MACAAL, Marrakech (2022–2023); Manifesto of Fragility, Biennale de Lyon (2022); and Portals, Palacio Cadaval, Evora, Portugal (2022). Aguezney’s works can be found in the permanent collections of FRAC, Paris, The Red Sea Museum, Jeddah, and MACAAL, Marrakech.
