Anike Joyce Sadiq’s artistic practice encompasses performative, minimal, and conceptual strategies. She combines video installation, sculpture, sound, music, and text in her works. Informed by the social, historical, and architectural contexts of her exhibiting and working spaces, Sadiq interweaves questions concerning perspectives marginalized by the status quo through these mediums. She employs her body to explore multiple dimensions of representation and examine the politics of the gaze, the right to opacity, and the possibilities of refusal. Anike Joyce’s projects are based on embodied knowledge and an investigation of the role image-making has both in and as politics. An important aspect of her practice is Sadiq’s interdisciplinary collaborations and a preoccupation with how and why social dynamics, intersectionality, and diverse perspectives might (not) be negotiated inside institutional structures.
