NASTIO MOSQUITO

Multimedia Angolan artist, Nástio Mosquito, is known for his performances, videos, music, and poetry that show an intense commitment to the open-ended potential of language. The artist uses a range of monikers including Nastiá, Saco, Cucumber Slice, and Zura Zuara. Easily misread as a kind of world-weariness, it is the extraordinary expression of an urgent desire to engage with reality at all levels.

Mosquito is a founding member of DZZZZ Consulting Services and ZZZZZ Creative Projects. He has recently been awarded the 2015 Cedric Willeman Award (Belgium) and the Angola 35 Graus 2015, International Promotion 2 (Angola) as well as the Future Generation Art Prize in 2014, which is a major international competition that provides long-term support to emerging artists.
