Anguezomo Mba Bikoro

Mba Bikoro is a visual artist, writer, curator, eco-somatic healer and artistic director since 2005 working at the intersections of law, healthcare, education, activism and art. Their research practice analyzes power processes and fictions of science in historical archives that critically engage with migration and colonial memory. Their focus is on queer indigenous and radical Black feminist biopolitics. In and through performance, Mba Bikoro has developed formats for ritual through ancestral healing that often expose the interwoven colonial histories of migration in site-specific spaces to dismantle prejudice and create independent emancipatory tools for liberation, education, and reparation. They are Artistic Director of MBALere (Squat Museum) in Gabon (2008) a mobile care space, and Nyabinghi Lab Collective (since 2020). Their work has been shown in numerous international exhibitions and biennials, including the Dak’art Biennale (2012, 2018), Venice Biennale (2016), La Otra Bienal, Bogotá (2013), and RAVY Biennale, Yaoundé (2018).
