Art on a Postcard International Women’s Day Auction - Curated by CURA Art

About 
Maggie Williams (she/her) is a British-Chinese artist based in the Lewisham Arthouse, London. Williams’ practice has recently returned to themes surrounding cultural identity and the effects of second-generation diaspora. She explores the fractured, contradictory experience of belonging using a wide array of media - from playfully reappropriating found objects to challenging the confines of more traditional techniques such as embroidery. This process-based work attempts to make the liminal space between the two cultures intelligible. She was invited to her first solo exhibition in 2014 at cueB Gallery in Brockley, was a finalist for the ArtSlant Prize and Zealous X in 2016 and featured in BRICKS magazine in March 2023. Williams received a BA (Hons, First Class) in Fine Art from the University of Hertfordshire in 2011. She recently held her first solo show in New York in May 2023, and has exhibited her work across London and the UK, including at Royal Festival Hall, Hackney WickED and The Auction Collective.
