Harold Offeh is a Ghana-born British artist and educator who uses a range of media to investigate the way we think about social, political, sexual and racial models. In this episode, he talks about how performance became a natural part of his work, his project on London’s longest artwork at Holborn Viaduct, how and why he uses his own body in much of his art, how he mimics black female actors and singers to highlight racial stereotyping, his tongue-in-cheek look at our wellness culture, projects arising from residencies in Japan and Canada, and why he believes art is undervalued by policy-makers in Britain.
