Artist talk with Nina Mangalanayagam

01-12-2022

 “In my art, I explore stories that are intricate and complex, but that have been simplified to fit into a categorical system.”

Artist talk with Nina Mangalanayagam

Nina Mangalanayagam (B. Lund 1980) is a senior lecturer in photography and program manager for the bachelor’s program in photography at HDK-Valand.

Nina has participated in exhibitions internationally, including the Whitechapel art gallery and Rivington Place in London, the Museum of Contemporary art in Zagreb and the Colombo biennale in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
