Marcia Harvey Isaksson (b. 1975, Zimbabwe) is a Stockholm-based artist, exhibition designer and curator. She is also the founder of Southnord, a platform that makes space for black and Afro-Nordic artists. She invests in the good life by exploring other ways of being and knowing together with the Southnord community.
Julia Ojanen (b. 1978, Finland) is the Director of Villa Karo, the Finnish institute for West Africa. She has lived and worked for over 15 years of her life outside Finland, mainly in Africa and Asia. Julia explores the mystery of good life by reaching to the poetic and by catching glimpses of insight in conversations with artists.
