Nathalie Bikoro

Nathalie Anguezomo Mba Bikoro's practice merges installation, sonic radio, live art performances and film to analyse processes of power and fiction in historical archives.

 

In her exploration of creolised identity, heritage, memory and homeland, the artist investigates systems of colonial past and present, tyranny and gender, traditions and mythologies. Bikoro's work reveals and creates moments of synthesis and harmony between seemingly disparate bodies of knowledge, cultural traditions and value systems. With her educative and allegorical approach, Bikoro highlights the inconsistencies of a society poised between delusion and ritual. 

 

She is the recipient of several awards including Fondation Blachère & Afrique Soleil Mali for Best Artist Dakar Biennale (2012), IASPIS Swedish Arts Council (2018), Arts Council England (2016) and Goethe Institut (2016).
