Anna Boghiguian
[1946, Cairo, Egypt, lives and works around the world]
Born of Armenian parents in Cairo, Anna Boghiguian studied political science and economics, arts and music and now lives between Egypt, India, Canada and several cities in Europe. During her travels, she has created books, series of coloured drawings and collages of images and texts sensitized by local literature, philosophy and mythology, but also by the consequences of war, oppression and displacement, thus proposing the link between past events and contemporary conflicts. She devoted herself, for example, to investigating the history of trade in raw materials (cotton and salt) and the relationship between colonialism and slavery. With a language which is sometimes crude, sometimes expressionist, but always personal and deeply imaginative, her narratives develop in both spectacular and delicate installations in context, like the one he undertook to occupy the rooms in the building of the CAPC headquarters.
