Mmm Gotta Try a Little Harder, It Could Be Sweet
15 November 2025 – 1 March 2026, 11am – 5pm
Kettle's Yard, Cambridge, UK
The first major solo exhibition of Harold Offeh’s work in a UK institution, this exhibition will explore two decades of the artist’s videos, performances and projects that have taken place across the world.
Offeh draws from popular music, film and mainstream cultural trends to interrogate our acceptance of political, class, gender and racial models in society. Recently, his practice has approached themes of happiness, play and Afrofuturism through performance and collective live engagements.
New participatory elements will activate Kettle’s Yard’s galleries, drawing on the input of collaborators and communities through an energetic programme of performances, discussions and events.
Creating Patterns
12 Nov 2025-11 Jan 2026
Somerset House SKATE Commission
To end Somerset House's 25th Anniversary year, Harold Offeh has been invited to design a unique commission in response to SKATE in the iconic Edmond J. Safra Courtyard.
Creating Patterns, developed by artist Harold Offeh, reimagines the iconic Somerset House ice rink as a space for collective mark-making, movement and sound. The work takes its cue from the 2001 album of the same name by UK afro-futurist group 4Hero, expanding its ideas of rhythm and repetition to explore pattern-making as a pathway into sonic futurisms and fictions.
