Sahjan Kooner – dankEconogy1_ALIENVillage manga handout
Manga handout for Sahjan Kooner’s exhibition at Kunsthal Gent, titled dankEconogy1_ALIENVillage, shown by Eastside Projects in 2023. The handout was designed by Ossian Osborne based on a design by Harry and Robin at An Endless Supply, using Neureal by Laura Csocsán. “SAKO” on the cover uses a deconstructed Beans by Dieter Zembsch.
Sahjan Kooner is an amalgamation of inherited worlds and speculative futures. Using video and installation, they create expansive worlds that explore the traces of love, hope and imagination that make our lives possible, along with examining a debris of questions around the technological, social, and racialised structures that augment life. They live and work in Wolverhampton.
Sahjan has been working with Eastside Projects as an Incidental Artist across the last 18 months developing this multi-stranded project through workshops and collaborations with artists, their mom, technologists, bioscientists, school children, communities with Punjabi heritage, ceramicists and Eastside Projects.
