Zana Masombuka in Conversation with Harold Offeh

16 Sep 2023

October Gallery
London WC1N 3AL

Overview

Masombuka, also known as ‘Ndebele Superhero’ discusses her practice and new body of photographs, sculptures and short film which draw upon her experiences of Ndebele ceremony and ritual. Masombuka explores the intersection of identity and culture, as she creates arresting visual narratives imbued with traditional Ndebele lore and symbolism, which the artist employs to bring about a radical re-examination of the individual’s position within the wider community. The artist’s exhibition Nges’rhodlweni: A Portal for Black Joy continues until the 30th of September, 2023 at October Gallery.

Harold Offeh is known for working in a range of media, including photography and performance. He has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally including: Tate Britain and Tate Modern; Wysing Art Centre; Studio Museum Harlem, New York; MAC VAL, France; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Denmark; and Art Tower Mito, Japan. Currently a Senior Tutor in Fine Art MFA at The Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University, he also lectures in Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art, London.
