Description

Jeannette Ehlers is a Copenhagen-based artist of Danish and Trinidadian descent who works primarily with photography, video, installation, sculpture, and performance. Her practice often makes use of self-representation and image manipulation to explore themes relating to identity, ethnicity and history - namely Denmark’s colonial impact in the Caribbean and participation in the Transatlantic Slave Trade.   Her work has been exhibited extensively both in Denmark and abroad, including most recently, shows at MCA in Chicago and Le Centre Pompidou in Paris.  Explore more of Jeannette's work at:www.jeannetteehlers.com
