Enam Gbewonyo is a British Ghanaian textile and performance artist whose practice investigates identity, womanhood, and humanity while advocating the healing benefits of craft. She uses performance as a vessel, creating live spaces of healing that deliver the collective consciousness to a positive place of awareness. Using craft as her portal she pushes audiences to face the truth of a dark past and the emotions it brings forth. Thus bringing them to a point of spiritual awareness both of self and humanity. Gbewonyo is also an emerging curator and founder of the Black British Female Artist (BBFA) Collective – a platform that supports a group of emerging black women artists and advocates for inclusivity.
