Farida Sedoc

Visual artist Farida Sedoc (1980) works across various media to visualize multi-voiced narratives. She draws on elements from protest movements, countercultures, and subcultures, using photography, graphic design, and screen-printing techniques. In the monumental triptych Social Capital, Sedoc makes tangible how social capital shapes direction and opens pathways toward a shared future.

Sedoc investigates how images function within communities. Themes such as solidarity, migration, activism, intersectionality, heritage, and economic inequality come together in her work. Each of the three pieces in Social Capital  are based on a group portrait from her personal archive. Social Capital highlights the coming together of people, the exchange of values, and the ability to rely on one another within a community.
