About
Harold Offeh's The Mothership Collective 2.0, devised for communities, adults, children, young people and families, lands in the Ground Floor gallery in July 2025. A platform for play, gathering, curiosity, imaginative making and thinking, The Mothership Collective 2.0 is a sci-fi playscape for collaborative encounters.
You are invited to play and interact with activities and materials inspired by sci-fi, possible futures, and imagined utopian places. Different zones explore different sensory experiences. Experiment with weight and mass in the habitat zone, identity and performance on the yellow stage, make patterns with sound, and prophecies and predictions for the future with text.
Offeh has worked across performance, video, photography, learning and social arts practice for over two decades. His humorous and often provocative works explore subjects ranging from pop culture to identity and conformity. Drawing from music, film and mainstream cultural trends, Offeh interrogates political, class, gender and racial models in society. The Mothership Collective 2.0 continues his ongoing interest in Afrofuturism, joy and play.
