Harold Offeh was born in Accra, Ghana in 1977 and grew up in

London, UK. He is interested in the space created by the

inhabiting or embodying of history. His work encompasses

performance, social practice, video and photography, often

using humour as a means to confront the viewer with aspects of

contemporary culture and history. He studied at the University

of Brighton and the Royal College of Art, London.

Recently Offeh has approached the themes of service and Afro

hair culture through collective live engagements with other

artists, performers and community participation. He has shown

widely both in the UK and abroad.

He lives in Cambridge and works in London and Leeds where he

is a senior lecturer in Fine Art at Leeds Beckett University.
