Artist in residence, Stockholm, November 2026–April 2027

Eric Magassa (b. 1972) is an artist based in Gothenburg, Sweden, whose practice encompasses collage, painting, photography and video, often combined in multifaceted, large-scale installations. His distinctive, colourful compositions revolve around decolonial narratives and questions of identity, place and belonging. By working with different archives and drawing attention to visual patterns in what is often overlooked, he explores ways of seeing and thinking that in many respects disrupt the narrow aesthetics of the canonised white cube.
