Andia Coral Newton (b. 1998, Croydon, UK) is an artist and project coordinator based in London, working predominantly across textiles, sound art and installation. The work she makes focuses on phycological self-preservation, storytelling through contemporary textile techniques, and the conceptual uncoupling of ‘human’ and ‘natural’ history which Andia believes has resulted in ecological and cultural damage. Primarily a weaver, Andia’s research also touches on the interconnection between textile making and gender, and consequently the way in which we collectively perceive Art History in relation to craft, industrialisation and domestic practices. 

Andia’s work has been exhibited in the UK, The Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany.
