Life

Nina Edge is the daughter of a Ugandan Asian and an Englishman.[1] She trained in ceramics in Cardiff.[2]

Edge participated in 'Jagrati', a 1986 exhibition at Greenwich Citizens Gallery by thirteen Asian women artists.[3] Her mixed media artwork 'Snakes and Ladders' (1988) used batik on paper, ceramic and text.[4] Part of the touring exhibition 'Along the Lines of Resistance', it "brought social politics into craft and images of black women into mainstream art galleries and museums".[5]

gollark: You're never really "certain" of anything.
gollark: Experimentation by GTech™ computational physical geometers has determined that they are *not* with 86% confidence.
