Biography
Ekström grew up in Stockholm, the daughter of the authors Per Wästberg and Margareta Ekström.[4][5]
She made her writing debut in 1993 with the collection of poems Skiffer ("Slate"), and continued to publish poetry during the 1990s.[6] After the turn of the millennium in 2000, she began writing short stories, novels, and diary entries.[7] Her first collection of short stories, What Do I Know About Strength, was published in 2000.[4] Her first published novel was Farewell Relay (2004), which was followed by the short story collection Look, she crawls.[3] Ekström became better known as a writer through his autobiographical works.[8] The autobiographical If You Stay in the Sun (2012) describes growing up in a bourgeois and intellectual home on Djurgården. Her previous diaries were published in 2016 under the title Diary 1996–2002.[6] Her latest book, The Sentences from 2000, depicts the relationship with her mother, after her mother had difficulty speaking due to a stroke in the 1990s.[7]
As an artist, Johanna Ekström had her first exhibition at Galleri Charlotte Lund in 1994. Her work as a visual artist was closely linked to her poetry.[9] In 2012, she had her first exhibition at Björkholmen Gallery and was subsequently represented by the gallery.[10] She also exhibited at the Gothenburg Art Museum and Färgfabriken on Liljeholmen.[9]
