Sika Foyer

Sika Foyer is an American multidisciplinary artist who explores wrapping cultures, the materiality of wrapping and its cross-cultural rituals to tell ancestral stories and to examine forms of social injustice. Foyer with her tireless gestural motions and micro repetitive layering, exposes marking time processing in her studio practice; and it builds on her formal trainings and experiences in urban policies and economic development. Born and raised in Togo, West Africa, Foyer was first introduced to drawing and clothing design at age 8 by assisting her fashion designer and dressmaker mother in her Atelier. Foyer came to the United States where she obtained her BS in Economics from Baruch College, CUNY and her MS in Urban Studies from The New School, Milano School of Policy, Management and Environment in NYC. Foyer maintained a studio practice in New York; and in January 2021, she obtained her M.F.A. from Lesley Art + Design in Cambridge, MA. Foyer’s works have been shown internationally and nationally with few of her artworks in private collections.
