Theresa Traore Dahlberg (b. 1983) is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Stockholm. Working across installation, sculpture, photography and film, she explores materiality, personal and collective histories, shifting values, and the environmental impact of industrial and technological development. Her practice draws on her experience of being rooted in both Sweden and Burkina Faso.

Her works transform historically and personally charged materials—including cotton yarn, circuit boards, glass and bronze—into new forms and meanings. Influenced by science fiction, futurism and African folktales, her sculptures and films imagine alternative futures and sociopolitical structures.

Traore Dahlberg holds an MFA from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. She received the 2019 Beckers Art Award and has exhibited internationally. Her films include Taxi Sisters (2011), Ouaga Girls (2017) and The Ambassador’s Wife(2018), which was shown at several international film festivals and received the Tempo Documentary Short Award.

Karl Ohiri (pronounced Oh-hir-ri) is a British-Nigerian visual artist and archival activist based in Helsinki. An alumnus of Goldsmiths, University of London, his conceptually driven practice explores memory, identity, belonging and place through photography, text, moving image and everyday objects. Drawing on personal experience, social observation and archival research, he recontextualises familiar materials to question established narratives and imagine alternative futures.

Since moving from the UK to Finland in 2023, Ohiri’s work has increasingly focused on migration, integration, cultural exchange and Finnish identity. His work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including MoMA, Tate Britain, the Courtauld Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery and the Finnish Museum of Photography, and is held in collections including Autograph ABP, Arts Council England, the Finnish Museum of Photography and the Wellcome Collection.

Ohiri is also the initiator of Lagos Studio Archives, an artist-led project preserving photographic negatives threatened by the transition from analogue to digital photography in Nigeria. Established as a working group with artist Riikka Kassinen in 2022, the project reactivates overlooked histories and voices through exhibitions, research and publications. It has been presented internationally, including at MoMA, South London Gallery, Autograph and the Living Art Museum.
