Life

Nina Edge is the daughter of a Ugandan Asian and an Englishman. She trained in ceramics in Cardiff. Edge participated in 'Jagrati', a 1986 exhibition at Greenwich Citizens Gallery by thirteen Asian women artists. Her mixed media artwork 'Snakes and Ladders' (1988) used batik on paper, ceramic and text. 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".
