Joyce Addai-Davis is a fashion practitioner and researcher whose work interrogates the relationship between the Global North and Global South through the lens of fashion waste, exposing how discarded clothing, disguised as charity, floods countries like Ghana and perpetuates cycles of economic and cultural inequality. She uses design as a tool for resistance and systemic change.
Joyce holds a postgraduate qualification from the Royal College of Art, where she was supported by the Sir Frank Bowling Scholarship and the Leathersellers' Company. She is co-author of Retold (RCA, 2026), a practice-led publication bringing together forty-two Global Majority creatives whose work interrogates race, cultural identity, diaspora, and memory.
