Anna Nunes is a Dutch-Portuguese artist
Nunes strives to empower less exposed narratives in society through her art. Her work process begins with an extensive research phase during which she immerses herself completely in a specific community. In her latest residential project, O mundo imaginário (The imaginary realm) Nunes closely collaborated with children from the village of Santana in São Tomé. This project was developed as part of Nunes’ ongoing series, The coloniality of gender, in which she investigates the profound gender disparities exacerbated by Dutch and Portuguese colonial rule and explores the role of play in processes for equality and decolonisation.
