As part of Stewart Geddes' current exhibition at CLOSE, Letting String Fall, we're pleased to share the recording of an in conversation event between the artist and Adelaide Damoah, picking up where they left off from an initial artist-to-artist conversation 6 years ago.
British-Ghanaian multi-disciplinary artist Adelaide Damoah stands at the confluence of painting and performance, her artistry resonating within the tapestry of themes encompassing colonialism, ecology, identity, feminism, and radical joy.
In her current practice, Damoah employs an array of mediums and techniques, including storytelling through performance and filmmaking, utilising artificial intelligence, image transfer methods, body printing, and painting.
Damoah has works in both public and private collections, nationally and internationally, including the UK Government Art Collection and Fondation H in Paris and Madagascar. Damoah has exhibited in national and international galleries and institutions including Gagosian. She serves on the boards of two art charities and was a co-founder/founding member of two art collectives.
