Erica Nuamah
Born in Kumasi, Ghana, in 1999, Erica Nuamah has lived in London since the age of two. She studied Visual Arts and Design at the BRIT School and Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford. Her practice combines culture and environment in reimagined landscapes that contribute to Black archives.
DWARE! (Bath time in a Black British household)
DWARE! depicts a traditional Ghanaian bathing practice, using a ladle and sapɔ (African net sponge), set in a South London council flat. It explores how culture and tradition continue within the Black British diaspora.
Nuamah's work brings together culture, environment, tradition and lived experience, contributing to the visual archive of Black British life.
