Luck Comes Before Love – Sarah Nsikak in The Gallery
- 8:00 am - 11:59 pm | Sunday February 05, 2023
- Gallery | Ace Hotel New York
Drawing from African proverbs and idioms, Nsikak borrows romance folkloric imagery from the many cultures she calls home. Using her material of choice, recycled fiber, her installation is a sensory experience, a quiet invitation which urges loud questions – chief amongst them:
How can black women reclaim a softness they have been refused?

La Réunion draws from many influences including the vibrant stories of the African diaspora, post colonial art and photography, reclaimed beauty, identity, color, joy, and inviting oneself back to what’s been central all along. These are also amongst the themes that she applies in her fine art practice, using applique and patchworking to create folkloric tapestries.
