BiographyLola Keyezua is an Angolan-Dutch photographer and performance artist. She graduated in Interactive Media and Design from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague in 2014, and has since lived and worked both in Europe and her native Angola moving most recently to the Philippines. Passionate about engaging as an artist in the development processes in economics, culture and education, she began her creative career defending the rights of people from underprivileged and discriminated social groups. For her art projects, she bravely enters some of the most precarious locations and situations. “What makes me uncomfortable in our society is what helps me create an artwork,” she said in an interview. The result is a body of work that is always aesthetically accomplished, often provocative, and never timid.
