Anique Jordan is Trinidadian-Canadian artist, writer and curator who looks to answer the question of possibility in everything she creates. As an artist, Jordan works in photography, sculpture and performance often employing the theory of hauntology to challenge historical or dominant narratives and creating, what she calls, impossible images. Jordan’s work considers different logics of time, the Black surreal and the marvellous as it relates to the Black Atlantic experience. Jordan has lectured on her artistic and community-engaged curatorial practice as a 2017 Canada Seminar speaker at Harvard University and in numerous institutions across the Americas. In 2017 she co-curated the exhibition Every. Now. Then: Reframing Nationhood at the Art Gallery of Ontario. As an artist, she has exhibited in galleries such as The Art Gallery of Ontario, The Armory Show, Art Gallery of Guelph, Doris McCarthy Gallery, Art Gallery of Windsor, and Gallery 44. She has received numerous awards, grants and fellowships for her work. Jordan holds an MFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design and a Masters of Environmental Studies from York University.
