Harold Offeh is an artist working across performance, video, photography, learning and social practice, who often uses humour to unsettle the histories and pop culture he draws on. Born in Accra, Ghana, he grew up in London from the early 1980s. He studied at the University of Brighton and the Royal College of Art, and later completed a practice-based PhD at Leeds Beckett University. He has shown at Tate Britain, Tate Modern, the Studio Museum in Harlem and South London Gallery, and he has received a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for Artists. He lives in Cambridge and teaches in London and Leeds.
