Fine Art Research Unit Talk: Harold Offeh

Join us on our Cambridge campus (Cos 124) or on Teams for a talk from multimedia artist Harold Offeh.

Harold Offeh is an artist working in a range of media including performance, video, photography, learning and social arts practice. Offeh is interested in the space created by the inhabiting or embodying of histories. He employs humour as a means to confront the viewer with historical narratives and contemporary culture. Harold Offeh: Mmm Gotta Try a Little Harder, It Could Be Sweet, currently at Kettle's Yard, is the first major solo exhibition of his work in a UK institution and explores two decades of the artist’s videos, performances and projects that have taken place across the world.

He has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally including at: Tate Britain and Tate Modern; South London Gallery; Turf Projects, London; Kettle's Yard; Wysing Art Centre; Studio Museum Harlem, New York; MAC VAL, France; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Denmark; and Art Tower Mito, Japan.

He studied Critical Fine Art Practice at The University of Brighton, MA Fine Art Photography at the Royal College of Art and in 2020 completed a PhD by practice exploring the activation of Black Album covers through durational performance at Leeds Beckett University. He lives in Cambridge and is currently Head of Programme for MA Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art, London.
