Agil Abdullayev

Born and raised in Baku, Agil Abdullayev manifests his practice by blending visual essays, poetry, humor, and social commentary. The artist examines representations of Azerbaijani identity and its relationship to the history, culture, queer thoughts, and radical South Caucasian traditions, that often interwoven in explorations into his multiple alter-egos and imaginary teenagehood friends within post-modern narratives. His interdisciplinary research-based practice frequently references and incorporates theoretical models concerning imposed gender roles and embedded social class inequalities.
