# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Book release & party: 'Maputo Diary' af Ditte Haarløv Johnsen
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 27 Nov, 2025 at 05:00 pm – Thu, 27 Nov, 2025 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Det er med stor glæde at vi endelig kan invitere til release af Ditte Haarløv Johnsens længe ventede fotobog 'Maputo Diary' – et dybt personligt og visuelt mesterværk.

Bogen samler 25 års fotografisk arbejde fra Mozambiques hovedstad Maputo – byen, hvor Johnsen selv er vokset op under borgerkrigen og efterfølgende er vendt tilbage til over de sidste to årtier. 

Gennem 121 fotografier, ledsaget af dagbogsnotater og nye tekster, skildrer Maputo Diary liv, kærlighed og overlevelse blandt mennesker på kanten af samfundet i en blanding socialdokumentarisme og kunstnerisk undersøgelse i billeder af venner, familie og hverdagsliv i den mozambiquiske hovedstad. I centrum står kunstnerens venskab med “the Manas” (Søstrene) – en gruppe transkønnede personer.

Maputo Diary er både et personligt vidnesbyrd og et universelt værk om at finde skønhed, værdighed og medmenneskelighed – selv i livets mest sårbare øjeblikke. 

Der vil være gratis øl og vand til de første, live musik, DJ og en masse bøger. Vi håber at se dig til en uforglemmelig aften!

Program:
17:30 Åbningstale af Palle Sigsgaard
18:30 Perlemor (Gry Bagøien & Morten Svenstrup live)
19:00 - 22.00 DJ Kipanga

Join us for the Copenhagen book release of Ditte Haarløv Johnsen’s long awaited monograph ‘Maputo Diary’ 27 November from 5-10 pm. Opening speech by Palle Sigsgaard and live music by Perlemor and DJ Kipanga will keep our feet moving all night. Books and beer will be free flowing. We hope to see you for a night to celebrate. 

Maputo Diary is a deeply personal and visually arresting monograph by Danish photographer and filmmaker Ditte Haarløv Johnsen. The book brings together 25 years of photographic work from Mozambique’s capital, Maputo — the city where Johnsen grew up herself. Through 121 photographs, accompanied by diary notes and new texts, the book portrays life, love, and survival among people living on the margins of society blending social documentary and artistic investigation through images of friends, family and everyday moments in the Mozambican capital. At its heart lies Johnsen’s friendship with the “Manas” (Sisters) — a group of transgender individuals, many of whom are no longer alive. 

Maputo Diary stands as both a personal testimony and a universal story — one that finds beauty, dignity, and humanity even in life’s most vulnerable moments.
