Mokia Dinnyuy Manjoh

His work began with Studio Olafur Eliasson in 2019 where he worked on the Little Sun project, initially as a researcher and later as a project manager. He later moved on to SAVVY Contemporary where he currently works as a curator and as the co-managing editor of SAVVY Contemporary Publications alongside Meghna Singh. He is also part of SAVVY Kwata in Limbe, Cameroon - A Library and community space as well as a place for preservation and transmission of knowledges which are situated beyond the written form.

Mokia’s work is predominantly informed by the struggles of his people against poverty and displacement and their root causes as well as the interrelations of struggle across the African and Arab world. He relies heavily on the literary and artistic legacies left behind by people who have waged war against colonialism for decades and works to find ways to permit their work to grow as it must. His particular focus is on the struggle to seize narrative power from the self-proclaimed humanitarians of the continuously colonising world.
