Artist. Writer. Researcher

Sika Bonsu [artist, writer, researcher] situates her practice in a Black feminist knowing, conjuring realms where the interiority and wisdom of Black feminine life and art are materialized. 

Holding a BA in Art History and Gender & Women’s Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University, she is now pursuing a MA in Museum Studies at New York University— researching the use of abstraction by Black femme artists as a means of locating the body in history and memory.

At Weeksville Heritage Center, she tends to the work of artists and community organizers curating spaces that are interdisciplinary, subversive, and resonant for the Crown Heights, Brooklyn community.
