Audrey Lukban
About
Audrey Lukban (b. 1997), a Filipino artist born in Manila, Philippines, currently based in London.
Working across painting, installation, and performance, Audrey Lukban explores diasporic and domestic experiences while retracing her cultural identity and histories. Rooted in her family’s patterns of short-term migration, her practice is shaped by repeated acts of packing, unpacking, and the slow rearrangement of objects. Whether paintings or sculptural props, her works are conceived as movable, fragmented forms that reconstruct and reorient perceived narrative spaces.
In her practice, Lukban challenges the aesthetics of her cultural identity and belongings. She often works at the intersection of personal history and broader legacies of colonialism, visual anthropology, religion, and the construction of historical memory in the Philippines. Through oil on wood, she investigates how identities are constructed and how historical hierarchies have been justified, inviting critical reflection on the systems that shape representation and power.
