Mahaneela is a multidisciplinary artist from London with roots in Ghana, India, and Jamaica.
Her work explores the themes of diasporic history, music, and culture, with a focus on the Black experience and emphasis on depicting Black and Brown people in modes of joy and happiness.
In a direct response to the lack of representation of Black and Asian people in the mainstream media, she hopes to provide a new perspective, one that is bright, beautiful, and authentic.
Aside from her photograph and filmmaking work, Mahaneela is a creative strategist and consultant, working with artists, labels, and brands to ideate and execute real-world activations and events, among other creative outputs.
Next month, @mahaneela.jpg will be re-releasing her book and prints. Please give her a follow and your support!
