Abstract
Joy Inside Our Tears’ exhibited as part of Bodies in motion - dance and resistance.
Harold Offeh's video installation Joy Inside Our Tears is part of the ongoing exhibition Bodies in motion: Dance and resistance. Harold’s installation examines the relationship between trauma, social dance and collective joy. Collective dance does not, however, always necessarily signal joy but can also be a sign of stress, driven by societal anxiety, anger or sadness associated with a time characterised by fear. The work was created during the pandemic when social distancing and a ban on collective dance was widespread.
Performers: Harold Offeh, Veronica Codova de la Rosa, Samra Mayanja, Ebun A Sodipo
Photography: Eloise Calandre
Choreography: Vânia Gala
Sound design: Xana
Project support: Jack Scott, James Jordan Johnson
