The Albanian born artist Majla Zeneli studied Graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, Poland completing her education with postgraduate studies in Burg Giebichenstein, the University of Art and Design in Halle. She is the initiator and director of Manière Noire, an art space founded in 2011 in Moabit. Whilst very active in the métier of prints and editions Zeneli pursued also literary interests that gradually influenced and altered the program of the space. Since late 2014 Manière Noire has been host of an intriguing series of exhibitions entitled "Appropriating Language", which deal with the occurrence of images seen inseparably from words, twined together visually and substantially, at the same time impacted by social, political and aesthetic issues.
