During Stockholm Art Week 2026, A Day's March and Mack Art Foundation presented a collaboration with artist Rugiyatou Jallow — a series of hand-painted garments and a limited-edition silk scarf, shaped through an intuitive, personal process.

Rugiyatou Ylva Jallow (b. 1990, Stockholm) is a Swedish-Gambian visual artist based in Los Angeles. Working primarily in acrylic and oil, her practice centers around expressive self-portraiture and an intuitive, process-driven approach.

Working directly onto a selection of white overshirts, Jallow approaches each piece as an extension of her painterly process, where texture, rhythm, and subtle shifts in tone become central. Each garment is shaped through presence rather than repetition — resulting in singular pieces.

Alongside the overshirts, a silk scarf presents Förenade i ängens ande (2026), extending her work into a format that can be worn, carried, and returned to over time.

"For us, this collaboration is about opening up that space," says Rasmus Elfton. "Allowing art to exist somewhere else — and exploring the grey area of what these pieces are."

The collection was shown during Stockholm Art Week at A Day's March, Kungsgatan 3, Stockholm, April 21–26.
