ABOUT.
Lauren-Loïs Duah is a Ghanaian cross-disciplinary artist and designer whose work focuses on the ways in which creativity, craft, and design can be used as a dynamic liberatory tool for social justice and to build positive community practices. Since graduating with a Masters in Architecture from the Royal College of Art in 2022, Lauren-Loïs is currently expanding her approach to collaborative practice as part of RESOLVE Collective.
As a Ghanaian artist, born in France, and now based in London, Lauren-Loïs' ongoing practice is also rooted in diasporic storytelling + connecting to 'home' through the diverse range of craft and making across the west-African continent.
Notably, Lauren-Loïs' research work, 'Obroni Wa'awu: Cross-Continental Clothescapes' was selected for the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale. She has also debuted her drawings in a solo art exhibition at Spiral Galleries (2022), shared her poetry at the Tate Britain for Lynette Yiadom Boakye's 'Fly in League with the Night', and labels her on-going creative explorations as 'Works in Progress' or 'WIP'.
