Latest Shape collaboration: Akissi was a featured artist in 2021's Shape Open, All Bound Together? for which she was commissioned to create a new work, 'But You Don't Look Sick.'

Akissi Nzambi is a Spain-based collage artist. A repository of personal interests and obsessions, her cut paper illustrations and digital pieces often act as a vehicle for social commentary and self-affirmation. Using a simple, direct approach, she creates visual metaphors that explore issues of identity, inclusivity, disability, culture, and race and encourage discussion.
