Anja Guggenheim is a Swiss-Filipino artist born and raised in Manila, Philippines. Her work is an exploration of her layered identity - as a biracial woman belonging to families with strong female figures. Her work expresses themes of inherited ancestral patterns, collective mythology, and femalehood.
She is a self-taught ceramicist who embraces a multidisciplinary approach to making. Guggenheim lives and maintains a studio practice in Geneva, Switzerland.
