Carlos Agamez is a Columbian interdisciplinary performance artist. His art reflects the exploration of themes around the idea of home, cultural displacement, the perception of our surroundings, and how one constructs a memory of a space. Agamez strives to make his art relevant to current social issues of identity. It examines the lives of people who have fled their homelands to escape persecution, conflict or other situations that endanger their lives, freedom or livelihood only to find themselves in permanent limbo in a foreign life. Art, for him, is a crucial tool for raising awareness of those topics and making them accessible to a larger audience. His performances are inclusive and immersive experiences.

Agamez was the recipient of the 2012 UNESCO Aschberg Bursary for Artists Programme.
