Harold Offeh — When Was The Time I Could Call My Own?
Responding to the themes of the exhibition The Time We Call Our Own, Harold Offeh delves into his own back catalogue of photographs. The images, mostly shot on disposable party cameras in the early 2000s, explore his emergence through the space of the queer night time.
Blurry selfies, street parties in San Francisco’s Castro district, going to drag bars and dressing up for student house parties. Performing to camera with actions and gestures, Offeh will present an animated slideshow of images accompanied by a soundtrack and audio commentary. Offeh’s first live online performance reflectively examines the relationship between photography and self-actualisation.
This event was part of The Time We Call Our Own, an exhibition and series of online events around nightlife, identity, and how photography shapes our sense of shared experience, led by Open Eye Gallery and supported by SEVENSTORE.
