Mari Männa (1991) is a sculptor and installation artist from Estonia. She is interested in how narratives take shape — how they form, unfold and often in the background shape the course of our lives. Männa is currently exploring Estonian pre-Christian pagan traditions and folklore, examining their impact on cultural identity and spirituality.
