MonaMohau is an Afrocentric artist, cultural ambassador, and a prominent figure in the Swedish scene for African dance styles. Her work bridges traditional and contemporary African dances, honoring heritage through modern touches. At the core of her practice is a clear purpose: to evoke remembering of ancestry, embodied knowledge, and cultural continuity — so that dance becomes both art and ritual, resistance and reconnection. She sees herself as a cultural bridge connecting generations, wisdom, and geographies through movement, artistry, and community work.

​​

With a strong foundation in African dance styles from West through Southern Africa, MonaMohau’s artistic journey spans several years of professional experience. While her background includes styles like Swing, Tap, and Dancehall, her passion remains firmly rooted in African dances in their many forms: traditional, social, and contemporary. Her path led her to École des Sables in Senegal — Africa’s most renowned international centre for traditional and contemporary African dance, where she completed a one-year certification and deepened her practice under some of the continent’s most respected teachers and choreographers.

​

Her work has led to collaborations with artists and creators across genres and borders, including appearances for global platforms such as YouTube, Red Bull, and Netflix. She has been featured in interviews and documentaries highlighting Sweden’s Afrobeats landscape and broader African cultural movements. Beyond performance, she is devoted to representation, dignity, and the long-term visibility of African cultures in Europe.

​

Most recently, through the platform La Guinée Faré, she organized an album release concert for a Guinean griot in Sweden — making history as one of the largest independently organized African concerts in the country, created by Africans for Africans, without external funding, collaborations, or donations. Her dedication to cultural visibility extends across borders: she contributed to a major casting project in Ghana, helping select 400 dancers to represent their nation at the Opening Ceremony of the All African Games. She also engages in modeling, commercial work, artistic curation, and community-building, with an unwavering focus on representation and cultural continuity.​

​

Through her platform UBUNTU BASE, she curates spaces for culture: weaving together dance, music, food, and shared experience — all deeply rooted in community and collective memory. In addition to her own creative journey, MonaMohau actively works as a support system for fellow African artists and creatives, amplifying their voices and fostering opportunities for collaboration and growth.​​​
