Profile
Parmenas Awudza is a visual artist based in Côte d'Ivoire. His work explores collective memory, evolving identities, and contemporary social dynamics through photography, video, and installation. Interested in how local narratives rooted in social and political realities intersect with universal concerns, Parmenas creates work that blends poetic expression with civic engagement.
Parmenas’s practice is deeply grounded in the sociopolitical realities of his context. His work “Hello Agbodrafo” explores the tension between colonial heritage, modernity, and cultural preservation, revealing global themes through a local lens. Similarly, “Le Poids des Vagues” addresses the right to freedom of expression, an essential issue in environments where speaking out is often perceived as an act of resistance. Through collaboration with other artists and institutions, Parmenas extends the impact of his work, creating spaces for reflection on history, culture, and identity.
