About the Exhibition
Harold Offeh: Mmm, Gotta Try a Little Harder, It Could Be Sweet
The first major solo exhibition of Harold Offeh’s work in a UK institution, this exhibition will explore two decades of the artist’s videos, performances and projects that have taken place across the world.
For more than twenty years, Offeh (b. 1977, Ghana) has been making playful, provocative performance and video works that explore subjects ranging from pop culture to identity and conformity.

About Samra Mayanja
Samra Mayanja is an artist working across performance, installation, film and writing. Her practice considers the illegibility of the body and the absurdist impulse to seek what is irretrievably lost. A continuously hopeful but seemingly futile act of searching runs through her work and manifests in performances that blend improvisation, slapstick, poetic monologues and tender vocalisations.
