Published 13 December 2025 in Studio News

The Beninese artist, based in Brussels, Pélagie Gbaguidi has developed a research-driven practice that examines colonial histories and collective memory through drawing, installation, and text. Her work is marked by material intensity, layered mark-making, and a sustained engagement with archival sources, unfolding across bodies, surfaces, and spatial interventions.
