Her work often refers to human relationships, the concept of belonging and the relationship between memory and time, people and places.
Alongside independent curatorial work Wickman has been a curator and member of Galleri CC in Malmö since 2015. In her curatorial practice she takes a great interest in spatial and sculptural work with cross disciplinary tendencies.
Since 2018 Wickman has also been the producer of the Touring Company of Dansstationen. Working with AAA/Clair Parsons, producing dance perfromences such as Matta Matta 2.0/The100Hands, Sixth Day Of The Moon/Dalija Acin Thelander, Hela Sanningen/C:A dans and the ongoing production; UNTZ BABY UNTZ with MYKA.
