MonaMohau is an Afrocentric artist, cultural ambassador, and a prominent figure in Sweden's African dance styles scene. With deep roots in Pan-Africanism and Afrocentricity, 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 connection — 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 and expression, her artistry and overall 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 its many forms of traditional, social, and contemporary.

In recognition of her commitment and skill, MonaMohau was accepted into École des Sables in Senegal — Africa’s most renowned international centre for traditional and contemporary African dance. She now holds a one-year certification from the school, where she deepened her practice under the guidance of some of the continent’s most respected teachers and choreographers, immersing herself in the philosophies and ancestral wisdom that permeate African movement.

​

Her work has led to collaborations with artists and creators across genres and borders, with appearances for global platforms like YouTube, Red Bull, and Netflix. She has been featured in interviews and documentaries highlighting Sweden’s Afrobeats landscape and wider African cultural movements.​

​

Beyond performance, MonaMohau is committed to representation and cultural advocacy. Most recently, under the platform La Guinée Faré, she organized an album release concert for a Guinean griot in Sweden — making history as the largest independently organized African concert 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, dignity, 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.

“ Defend our culture - representation matters. That is my purpose here, as an African in Europe.”
