About Haja FantaHaja Fanta is a London-based curator, writer, and researcher originating from Sierra Leone. She works with artists and institutions to deliver a range of visual art exhibitions, projects, and programmes. She has a particular interest in artistic and cultural production from Gambia, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Mali, Senegal, and Sierra Leone and in building creative connections between those cultures and the broader diaspora.
In her practice, Haja explores different approaches to curatorial production. During her MA in Arts and Cultural Enterprise, for example, she examined how incorporating sound and spatial design in curatorial practice can enhance levels of engagement and accessibility in contemporary art spaces. Haja has previously developed projects with Southbank Centre, The Africa Centre, National Portrait Gallery, HOME by Ronan Mckenzie, and photographer Neil Kenlock. She is currently working as a Project Curator at The Africa Centre delivering the National Lottery Heritage funded Malangatana Programme. She is also a member of the SXWKS collective. |
