BIOGRAPHY

Anguezomo Nzé Mba Bikoro creates immersive installations and environments merging sonic radio, archival and botanical acoustics, ritual and live art, de-colonial urban archaeologies, mixed media sculpture, textiles, text, photography, film, and archives. Their work complicates linear readings and representations of histories contextualising para-fictions and black fabulation as radical feminist strategy to disrupt the notion of a single authorial voice. Their work analyses processes of the historical, critically engaging in migrational struggles and creating decolonial, ancestral, psycho-therapeutic, holistic and trauma-informed methods for generational detraumatisation. They create spaces for untold narratives of resistance movements by feminist communities at the intersections of law, psychology, education, somatic therapy and herbalism. Through ancestral healing, soma-holistic body work and herbalist practices, their critical process turns historical violence into empowering strategies and collective modes of transformational justice focusing on discourses of histories, archives and theories on post-colonialist culture, migrations and identities.

PROJECT

Anguezomo’s research will focus on the historical contexts of healthcare, craft and botanics. They will create sonic recordings of the city’s architecture to build somatic therapy approaches to enable immersive environments as ‘exit pathways’ against racial and gender-based violence. They reconnect people to their ancestries by embodying archives of botany, expanding on collective justice practices through sonic meditations for de-traumatisation. Their research reflects on the complex colonial history of the country, focusing on architectural domestic ruinations and botanical plants—building forms of somatic healing and decolonial justice and connecting feminist and abolitionist economies in crafts. The medina’s sonic politics are forms of ancestral navigation that vibrate in its architecture and soils. Their aim is to focus on the medicines practiced using Andalusian music and plants at the former Maristan Sidi Frej as one of the world’s earliest archived multi-medical psychiatric hospitals, whose practices connect to Black protest ritual and botany from the artist’s West African cultural heritage.
