Sade Mica (they/them) is a non-binary artist based in Manchester, UK. – ‘Their current practise explores their experiences navigating the world as a fat, queer, black person and the nuances that brings in fleshing out an identity that is often met with contempt and confusion. They use photography, textiles, print and film alongside other mediums to document their body, emotions, and ever in flux gender presentation and the facets of their identity they feel most pressing in regards to their gaze and worldview.’ – Queerdirect.com

Sadé explains about their non-binary identity and the environment in their video works: ‘Through making these films I’ve forced myself to explore both and also to find a new relationship with my body where I push it through countryside trails and mud and rivers and respect that it needs rest and that it can do more than I thought. It’s all been about learning and connection.’
