Anna Nunes (b. 1993, based in the Hague) is a Dutch-Portuguese artist who 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 community. Through documentation, communication and firsthand experience, she gains a deeper understanding of various factors contributing to specific social issues. For example, she lived and worked for a year with the Fulani people of Boé in Guinea-Bissau on a project centred on animism, with a focus on the preservation of sacred forests.

Her latest residential project "O mundo imaginário" (The imaginary realm) in Sao Tomé (West-Africa), is supported by a grant from the Dutch fund Cultuurparticipatie and the local organization Surfers Proud of African Women (SOMA), which promotes gender equality on the island. In this project, part of the ongoing series, The coloniality of gender, Nunes investigates the profound gender disparities exacerbated by Dutch and Portuguese colonial rule and explores the role of play in processes for equality and decolonisation.
