She graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Ehlers\u2019 work often makes use of self-representation and image manipulation to bring about decolonial\u00a0hauntings and disruptions. These manifestations attend to the material and affective afterlives of Denmark\u2019s colonial impact in the Caribbean and participation in the Transatlantic Slave Trade\u2014realities that have all too often been rendered forgettable by dominant history-writing. In the words of author Lesley-Ann Brown, \u201cEhlers reminds all who participate in or gaze at her work that history is not in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ehlers insists on the possibility for empowerment and healing in her art, honoring legacies of resistance in the African diaspora.
