Kelani Abass (Nigeria)

Kelani Abass from Nigeria grew up in a family working with the traditional handcraft of letterpress. Within this family business, Kelani has found his source of inspiration, as his art today deals with the craftsmanship and the technologies that the printing industry has used through time.His art unites personal stories with historical events, thus creating new narratives that comment on collective memory, time and technology. Kelani hopes to be able to benefit from the Maltfabrikken’s museum, library and archive for immersed research work.
