Ismaila Fatty (b. 1957, Gambia) is a textile artist based in Sweden since 1988. His work bears strong reference to Gambian textile traditions and he often uses tie-dye techniques to manipulate and colour textiles, creating three-dimensional objects from hand-dyed cotton and silk fabrics. Some works appear to be shields; while others depict human forms holding hands, or praying. He has been exhibited at institutions such as Kulturhuset in Stockholm and participated in the Dakar Biennale in 2014.
