Bibi-Joan is an artist based in Amsterdam with a background in psychology. She is driven by a deep curiosity about how societal norms and power dynamics shape our relationships and self-awareness. She approaches her art with a feminist lens, challenging deeply rooted structures and exploring themes of identity, gender roles and the dynamics of vulnerability.
Her approach involves capturing authentic experiences, interactions and personal reflections through a combination of analog photography, video, text and dialogue. Bibi-Joan’s work is infused with playfulness and freedom. She invites us to look differently and think about how we interact with the world around us.
Reviews
Saskia van der Wal, artist and gallerist
“Bibi-Joan inspires me with her vision and her courage to make important statements about our society. She dares to make a statement and that is very inspiring. Also, her personal and analog approach gives a lot of depth to her work.”
Julia Filament, co-organizer and curator of Smash The Narrative project
“Works of Bibi-Joan impressed me with a perfect combination of casual and highly sensitive elements. With her project ‘LOOK AT ME’, she brought male nudity closer towards the public by making something that is perceived as ‘unusual’ or ‘strange’ as very normal and accepted.”
Bart Hamstra, art buyer
“Bibi-Joan makes fresh and beautiful work with a strong story that you can immediately feel and make you think. Why are things like this? Why is society’s mindset sometimes so narrow? That is what a good artist should do these days. ”
Tosca Lindeboom, art buyer
“I find the themes in Bibi-Joan’s work original and progressive. When I approached her to buy her work, she helped me think about a suitable print and placement in my home. Production and delivery went smoothly and I am very satisfied with the result.”
Rolf, model
“I am very involved in Bibi-Joan’s projects. I feel connected to her call for freedom and her drive to make social impact. She is able to create a safe space where people can talk freely about their perspectives. I loved her dialogue dinner, very intimate and fun. I went home feeling inspired and empowered.”
