Azarra Amoy

Artists

Azarra Amoy is a producer of public art installations in the form of murals. Her practice can be defined in three overlapping strands: artist, designer and creative strategist.

This crossover allows Amoy to bring her design-led ideas, concepts and solutions to a range of scenarios. These include bringing art to local communities in public spaces and helping brands cultivate stories for their audiences. Her use of personal stories, local histories and the built environmental landscape informs the design of her artwork and her striking visual narrative draws references from culture, community, hope and power.

Amoy is a graduate from University of the Arts London. She has received commissions from Adidas x Size and Big Creative Education, with work exhibited at the V&A as part of the gal-dem takeover and Black Blossoms Highlighting Black Women exhibition.
