MERON MANGASHA is a Stockholm-based screenwriter, poet, and playwright. Meron holds a degree in screenwriting from Alma, one of Sweden’s top higher vocational education programs in scriptwriting.

From poetry and music to the stage and film, Meron is a multi-faceted creator with a creative style drawing inspiration from contemporary culture and historical references.

The reading that informs Meron’s thinking and creative process can best be described as a broad pallet of trivia, hyper-acute news, and deep scientific research. Voices that he gravitates towards are adamant in not conforming to the majority but rather trusting that they will resonate with the intended recipient.

In 2022, the play “Mellan två våningar” (Between Two Floors) a classroom performance on behalf of Regionteater Väst had its premier. A play which Meron created and wrote the script for. Another of his notable projects is "Blått Blod" (Blue Blood) a spoken word monologue that received tremendous reviews and was selected to be included as a video work at Liljevalchs’s prestigious spring salon.

Meron is currently developing his debut feature, a black comedy-drama about a returnee who doesn't quite feel at home anywhere. He is also co-writing a short film and working on a collection of poems.
