Amina Agueznay

Amina Agueznay is a versatile multimedia artist that possesses a variety of different specialisations including: architecture, design, fashion, jewellery and artisanal weaving.
Upon finishing her education in Casablanca, Agueznay went on to study architecture in Washington DC. Despite her educational background Agueznay trained as a jewellery designer thus, diversifying her artistic expertise and interests.
Once returning to Morocco Agueznay began collaborating with various government agencies in support of traditional artisans seeking to innovate and commercialise their products. Her experience working with these organisations became a constant source of inspiration, particularly in regard to her jewellery designs. "Curiosity, sharing and transmission” are at the heart of Agueznay’s projects and allows her to build strong bonds with individuals of exception skill.
One of Agueznay’s most notable early shows was exhibited at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris in 1999. Thereafter, she continued to have her work displayed in renowned gallerys and art fairs across the world such as 1-54.
In 2010, Agueznay was awarded the prestigious Mediterranean Fashion Prize. Agueznay’s work was also showcased at two separate exhibitions at MACAAL (Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden), Marrakech, in 2019. Amina receives the prestigious Norval Soverign Prize in 2024.
