Agnes Essonti Luque is a Cameroonian–Spanish artist and curator, whose work is inspired by black and post-colonial feminist thinkers and revolves around topics like ancestral connections, memories of childhood and nostalgia. Her work spans a range of media, including photography, textiles, installations and performances. In recent years she has explored the construction of Afro-diasporic identities and the tireless search for home, focusing on processes of hybridisation and pidginisation.
Her work has featured in various national and international exhibitions and events, among them Manifesta 15 (2024), Foodscapes, the Spanish Pavilion at the 18th Venice Biennale of Architecture (2023) and "1384 Days Wide" at Rencontres de Bamako (2015). Her performances have been presented at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza and at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS). Her work "A Journey" is part of the MNCARS collection.
