Between Conakry,
Dakar, and Stockholm.

Max Diallo Jakobsen is a Swedish-Guinean writer, historian, curator, and researcher. Born in Sweden and of Guinean descent, he works between Conakry, Dakar, and Stockholm.

He holds an A.B. in History, African Studies, and Visual Arts from Princeton University, and is an MA student in Global African Studies at The Africa Institute, where he specializes in Museum and Critical Heritage Studies.
