Ndidi Dike
6 quotes
“I want to raise questions around stories of human commodification and histories of exploitation and wealth generation in the Global North. My work explores the enduring colonial legacies of enslaved black bodies, the industrial complex of natural resources extraction, land and the issue of looted artefacts centuries ago from specific countries.”

Recorded in: Q&A with artist Ndidi Dike, South London Gallery, August 11, 2023.
“I am an artist that is not defined by what medium I use, therefore it is irrelevant to me to find a core in any particular medium. It is tedious to deny myself the knowledge gained in experimentations. I do not know how many years of career practice I get in this life time so I want to absorb so much pleasurable experiences. I am centered on the philosophy of my art and whatever I require to relate this philosophy I will use.”

“My philosophy is more significant to me than the differences in genres of the Arts.”

“I make people see, this is my philosophy. I make people see through my own eyes and experiences. I am like a piece of glass that enhances the onlooker’s view; like looking through colored glass or concave/ convex lens or a window.”

“Art is an avenue to make thoughts into tangibles and ideas into realities. I close my eyes and I dream things that art help me birth. My desire is to make beautiful things that often times channel discussions and art most definitely helps me achieve this.”

“Art is my religion and my work is my praise. I know little else and I am aware of the lack of balance between my work and other aspects of life but I care little. Everything about me is art and I breathe art. I could be nothing but an artist. I am extremely passionate about what I do. The opportunity the Art industry gives is ceaseless.”
