Crafting workshop with Mahawa Keita (Birmingham City University artist-in-residence).

About the artist

Mahawa Keita is a textile artist whose practice explores personal and communal narratives through yarn, structure, texture and colour. She uses textiles as a means to connect with people and their stories, raising awareness of issues that impact different communities. 

Working with sustainable materials, Keita incorporates knit, crochet, macramé and hand embroidery to create both large and small sculptural pieces. Her work is deeply rooted in storytelling, weaving together themes of identity, relationships and shared experiences. Source: https://www.ikon-gallery.org/event/weaving-studio-mahawa-keita
