Amina Agueznay

Amina Agueznay (b. 1963, Casablanca) is an artist, jewelry designer, and architect based in Casablanca. Her practice leads her to the borders of the diverse yet complementary fields of architecture, design, and traditional weaving methods. Agueznay navigates with ease between the miniature and the monumental, a recurring feature in her work, which she describes as both architectural and detail oriented. An advocate for ancestral techniques and traditional craft, her ideas take shape via collaborations with artisans of exceptional skills. “Curiosity, sharing, transmission” are her means to build strong bonds and create exciting projects and workshops.

Oscillating fluidly from one practice to the next, Agueznay breaks down the boundaries between arts and crafts, the fine arts and applied arts, her original work escapes traditionally defined categories. She is a multidisciplinary creator of works—and above all, of encounters, memories, aesthetics, and sensory and human experiences.
