About the Artist
Harold Offeh is an artist that 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. He has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally including Tate Britain and Tate Modern, South London Gallery, Turf Projects, London, Kettle's Yard, Cambridge, Wysing Art Centre, Studio Museum Harlem, New York, MAC VAL, France, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Denmark and Art Tower Mito.
OSE Public Programme 2025
Open School East is excited to announce a new series of public events as part of its ongoing programming cycle, Home Is Where The Garden Is. Through participatory workshops, artist talks, and listening sessions, the programme will explore the networks, systems and communities that form civic space; an entwined mesh of shared social and political space shaped by material and social interventions and interrelations. The programme draws from local and national histories, speculative experimentation, and the social-ecological systems that shape our lived environments.
