Agnes Essonti Luque is a Cameroonian-Spanish artist and curator whose practice is inspired by black feminist and postcolonial thinkers, as well as themes of ancestral connection, her own childhood memories and nostalgia. Her work spans numerous media, including photography, textiles, installations and performance.
In recent years she has explored the construction of Afro-diasporic identities and that relentless search for home, interested in the processes of overlapping, hybridisation and processes of superimposition, hybridisation and pidginisation.
Her work has been shown in various national and international exhibitions, among them MANIFESTA 15 (2024), FOODSCAPES, the Spanish Pavilion at the XVIII Venice Architecture Biennale Venice (2023) and 1384 Days Wide at Rencontres de Bamako. His performances have been presented at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
