Sadé Mica – IT TEKS TIME

Wednesday 03 March 2021 7PM Via Zoom

Sadé’s work is rooted in exploring the self; the self in relation to gender and performance. Their art is a place for “working out” both their gender identity and gender expression; it is a medium through which they make sense of their relationship to their queerness, body and environment.

In this session, Sadé will be walking us through a simple technique for cataloguing our emotions and navigating our headspace during these times of distress and uncertainty. The three circles exercise; D - Drive, C - Content, T - Threat, is a tool Sadé learnt through counselling which has influenced their practice and helped guide them, particularly through isolation. 

Counselling as a subject matter also takes shape in Sadé’s recent work IT TEKS TIME, where they invite us to see this process of “working out” take place as they reflect on their thoughts and feelings during a video performance, which sees them recreating a patient/counsellor set-up. In the session, we will be discussing this work, its themes and will be opening up space for some much-needed introspection – taking time to reflect on our own emotions. 

IT TEKS TIME was produced for Sadé’s solo exhibition at OUTPOST Gallery, in February last year. You can watch the full video here.
