Ada M. Patterson

Ada M. Patterson is an artist and writer based between Barbados and Rotterdam. She works with masquerade, performance, poetry, textiles and video, looking at the ways storytelling can limit, enable and complicate identity-formation in the spaces we hold together. Her recent work considers grief, elegy writing and archiving as tools for disrupting the disappearance of communities queered by different experiences of crisis. Patterson was the 2020 NLS Kingston Curatorial and Art Writing Fellow. Exhibitions include Life Between Islands: Caribbean-British Art 1950s – Now (2021-2022) at Tate Britain. Her writing has been featured in Sugarcane Magazine, PREE, Mister Motley and Metropolis M.
