Anique Jordan is a Canadian multi-disciplinary artist, writer, curator and entrepreneur known for her work in photography, sculpture, and performance.
[4] Possessed was based on the family history of a particular group of Black loyalists, who became freed people of colour, in the twin islands of Trinidad & Tobago.
[5] The work she created had two parts: a woman at the crossroads and a photograph re-enacting a congregation in the church as well as orchestrating a performance on the subject in its wider implications.
[9] In 2017, she was included in a panel discussion accompanying the opening of Position as Required, a show at the Art Gallery of Windsor[10] and in a show titled The Arts Against Post-Racialism: Strengthening Resistance Against Contemporary Canadian Blackface, spearheaded at McGill University, Montreal, for which she created Scream Café, a performance in which audience members were invited to participate and witness an act of audible or silent screaming.
[11] In 2020, she curated an exhibition called Three-Thirty for the Contact Photography Festival in Toronto about cultural landmarks in Scarborough’s Malvern neighbourhood and ideas of power, land and agencies that define it.
[12] In the summer of 2020, inspired by a social media post following the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police officers, she created We Have Done Enough, a 21-foot (6.4 m) installation for the Nia Centre for the Arts that challenged the viewer to consider the significant work that Black people have put into explaining and fighting against racism.
[16] In 2024, Anique Jordan presented a solo exhibition of new work at Patel Brown Gallery in Toronto, Ontario, titled Underbelly.
