ARTIST SPOTLIGHT #2: Sadé Mica

"I kno me best n even I don't kno"

It's possible that SADÉ MICA is one of Greater Manchester's most exciting visual artists to date.

Exploring the intricate and often messy themes of self-reflection and identity, the University of Salford student rarely - if ever - fails to utterly encapsulate the juxtaposition of self-doubt and self-confidence that is found in every 18 - 25 year-old. Utilising every medium at hand from textiles and photography to film and even the human body, their repertoire successfully pushes boundaries and builds a complex quest for self-expression.

"My current practice explores my experiences navigating the world as a fat, queer, black person and the nuances that brings in fleshing out an identity that is often met with contempt and confusion.

"I use photography, textiles, print and film - alongside other mediums - to document my body, emotions, ever-in-flux gender presentation and the facets of my identity that I feel are most pressing in regards to my gaze and worldview."
