Anguezomo Mba Bikoro merges immersive installations, sonic radio, live art performances, archaeology, film & archives. Their work complicates linear readings and representations of histories pursuing parafiction as a radical black queer feminist strategy to disrupt the notion of a single authorial voice.
Their work analyses processes of power & fiction in historical archives critically engaging in migrational struggles. They create environments for untold narratives of resistance movements by African women and indigenous communities. Sedimented in narratives are testimonies of sonic nature archives, queering ecologies and postcolonial black radical feminist experiences towards new monuments, reacting to the different tones of societies shared between delusions & rituals. They bring new investigations about the architectures of racism in cities, the archaeology of urban spaces & economies of traditional systems by exposing the limitations of technologies as functional memory records.
Through ancestral healing somatic bodywork & vodun practices, their critical process is informed by discourses of histories, archives and theories on postcolonialism, diaspora, migration, identities, afro & alter modernism and culture. Their work reveals and creates moments of synthesis and harmony between seemingly disparate, bodies of knowledge, cultural traditions and value systems.
An exploration of creolised identity, heritage, memory and homeland, Mba Bikoro investigates systems of colonial past & present, tyranny, and the breaking of gender binaries, traditions and mythologies.
