Marcia Harvey Isaksson (b.1975)

Originally from Zimbabwe, Marcia Harvey Isaksson is based in Stockholm and graduated from Beckmans College of Design in 2008 and has since worked as an exhibition designer and interior architect. In her artistic practice she uses weaving and other textile methods to investigate cultural and personal heritage, the transfer of knowledge over generations, and how narratives of the past effect the present and the future. She is interested in site-specific narratives, working often with a mix of media, from sculpture to performance. Harvey Isaksson is also the founder of Southnord, a platform whose purpose is to make space for black and Afro-Nordic artists. She previously ran Fiberspace (2015-2023), an arena for textile art, handicrafts and design.
