Lateefa spent her childhood growing up in Abiquiú, New Mexico, England, Jordan, and Granada, and now works from her studio in East London. She studied at the Princes Foundation in Building Arts in 2000, and went on to study a degree course in fine art painting at Northumbria University. After living and studying in Cairo and Andalusia, she returned to London in 2006, where she works, teaches and collaborates with sculptor Adam Williamson.
MADI is a great artistic adventure, and perhaps, the only existing movement which can justify half a century of existence. MADI is more than an avant-garde movement; it has an underlying wave with several and differing offspring. It is the slow-paced growth of a tectonic plate in the history of art. Indeed, since art and environment are perveived as the fusion of two cultural phenomena, the progression and expression of both of these blend in everyday life.
