Twilight at the Museums: 2126 at Kettle's Yard
18 February, 4.30-7pm
Twilight at the Museums will be taking over the galleries and beyond at Kettle’s Yard as families can explore ‘What might the future look like inspired by our global history and culture?’
Inspired by Harold Offeh’s exhibition Mmm, Gotta Try a Little Harder, It Could Be Sweet, this event will incorporate Offeh’s themes of play and Afrofuturism, as we explore imagined futures!
Families are invited to join us for an evening of story-telling with Wendy Shearer, making with artist Sandra Scott, pop-up dance performances by Sin Cru, exploring artworks and even a silent disco in the Clore Learning Studio!
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 explores 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.
