IN THE STUDIO WITH ADAMA CONTEH
We are so excited to welcome artist Adama Conteh



Meet Adama Conteh
Adama Conteh is a textile artist, facilitator and instigator. She is half Scottish, half Sierra Leonean and through making she looks to understand her cultural identity in more depth. Both the physical and digital realms are important in her workflow as she prioritises the process of making over the outcome. Adama recently obtained an MA in Textiles from The Royal College of Art.
She comes from a background in fine art, graduating from The Glasgow School of Art in 2018. She navigates the space between fine artist and designer where experimenting with materials, space and new workflows have become a driving force for making. By using materials as a tool to ask questions, she explores how her practice can offer herself and others a space to heal by letting the materials become the mediator.
The art’beat studio is an open studio, pop in anytime to view works and meet the artists.
