Anique Jordan
Anique Jordan is an award-winning artist, writer, and curator whose practice stems from and returns to the communities that inform it. As an artist, Jordan creates what she calls “impossible images” that combine foundations of traditional Trinidadian carnival and hauntology—a theory referring to past social or cultural elements that linger in the present like a ghost—to challenge historical narratives. By taking a broad view on history and analyzing this historical data through a contemporary lens, Jordan creates space to reinterpret archives and offer new and speculative visions of the future.

Arcand, Aylan Couchie, Simon Fuh, and Julia Rose Sutherland, whose practices reclaim their communities’ narratives, despite colonialism’s persistence.
