Our STORY

Agama Art Publishing and Agency Ltd. has been founded by Susa R. Garrido, in 2018, to promote African artists and to encourage them to express their enormous talent and creativity.

Agama is an independent art publishing and agency that represents artists and publishes books, e-Books and catalogues about African art, photography, architecture, sculpture, design and fashion.

We select and publish the most brilliant African artists, bringing them to life in dynamic ways, print and digital, for readers all around the world.

Our PURPOSE

Our intention is to represent artists through exhibitions, events, talks, etc. and to create books, e-Books and catalogues that enhance and promote the huge African art talent in order to bring them to all audiences.

We want to use art as a social weapon to bring awareness about difficult topics. We want to discuss and explore themes such as child abuse, war, slavery, drugs, rape, misogyny, etc. We want to capture people’s attention with these subjects, stories and ideas that have a massive impact on their lives and dreams. It is essential to listen carefully to how human beings today interpret their voices, especially through art.

We want to publish books, e-Books and catalogues about the current established artists that we work with and the new ones that we have trained and encouraged.

Our purpose is also to celebrate and publish young and old/long established African artists that have never been recorded in order to create an art legacy.

Our CULTURE

We believe in these artists and their ideas and therefore we think that what we do matters.

It takes a lot of hard work and research to represent artists and publish these books, e-Books and catalogues, and we care about these artists, their ideas and talent. We are committed to make a difference and work with these artists in order to achieve this.

We work in collaboration with different art organisations and societies, embassies and galleries. We work together, among other things, to find new talent, encourage established talent, record young and old/long established artists, set up exhibitions, provide workshops, seminars and talks to underprivileged and disadvantaged female artists who want to start or continue their art career.
