Monika Dahlberg (Kericho, KE- 1975) makes sculptures, installations, collages, photographs and texts.
Social, aesthetic and political criticism are natural tools of her working method. Her vital and powerful work is imbued with sensory, erotic energy. Characteristic of her work are the art-historical references she links to her own biography. In the process, she developed her own visual language that she interweaves with how she lives and experiences life.
She often provides the characters in her photographs and collages with Minnie and Mickey Mouse ears, a reference to a typical African hairstyle but also as a comment on the disneyfication of contemporary society.
