Manju Jatta "DM 1"

Manju Jatta’s images are the remnants of actions - akin to the West African singer and storyteller the griot's knowledge preservation, or the rune carver's history preservation, where the bodily encounter with what is told becomes part of the meaning itself. Read more

About Manju Jatta

Manju Jatta's work moves between history and knowledge preservation, with a focus on blackness and Swedishness, and the history of blackness in the Nordic countries. The images Jatta creates are often in the color range between blue and black, like bruises that are simultaneously signs of damage and healing. Through the Old Norse word Blár (which meant both blue and black), both color and our history are explored. Inspiration is drawn from both West African oral traditions and Nordic heritage.

Manju Jatta (b. 1990) began his career in the world of film before studying at Konstfack and then receiving an MFA from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 2024.
