The show brings together a multidisciplinary body of work spanning film, photography and poetry and addresses a series of provocations developed by the artist upon his selection for the programme.
Ofem has used the residency period to interrogate the possibilities and limitations of his primary mediums of expression, and the ways in which they can be used as immersive and accessible tools for storytelling and the preservation of memories.
