Artist and writer Samra Mayanja will be in conversation with exhibiting artist Simeon Barclay.
Using words, sound, and images, Mayanja and Barclay will explore the influences of their work on their artistic trajectories.
Samra Mayanja is a London-based artist and writer. Her work examines the body’s illegibility and the absurdity of seeking what is inherently lost, specifically, a clown-like pursuit of the impossible. The theme of searching, futile yet hopeful, runs through her work. She blends sexy-gone-sour slapstick and poetic monologues with tender vocalisations.
Simeon Barclay works across sculpture, film, and mixed media installation. His work explores the ways we navigate and perform identity. He draws on a range of influences from cultural and social histories, such as folk tales, British and popular culture, and the concept of masculinity.
