Amina Agueznay is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice combines structural thinking, the reinterpretation of traditional forms of knowledge and collective participation, through works ranging from the infinitesimal to the monumental. After studying architecture in the United States, where she practised for a decade, Agueznay returned to Morocco to undertake extensive research into traditional craft practices. This long-term fieldwork has become central to her methodology.
Her monumental installations often emerge from participatory processes developed through sustained dialogue with master craftspeople across Morocco. By bringing architectural and archaeological structures into conversation with handwork, Agueznay transforms inherited techniques into contemporary spatial systems, placing transmission at the heart of her practice, both as a method and a subject.
Approaching textile not as a surface but as a structure, Agueznay explores the physical and experiential qualities of material, learning to “draw” with it. In her wool installations in particular, space becomes a sensory field, engaging touch, sound and perception.
Following her participation in the 36th São Paulo Biennial (2025–2026), she represents the Kingdom of Morocco in 2026 at its national pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
