Regina Agu’s work is conceptually oriented towards language, history, and representation. She addresses these as they coalesce in contemporary ideas around landscape. Her practice involves research and explorations of “site,” including histories and theories of landscape photography, architecture, the built environment, the landscape, environmental justice, and spatial politics – particularly their intersections around communities of color.
