About the Artist<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Samra Mayanja <\/strong>is an artist and writer whose work acro<\/span>ss various mediums is unified by an obsession with how life speaks poetry. Her work is always seeking form, to move beyond strictures, to be lost and free.<\/span><\/p>\n

The voice, in her work, functions as the search party for the body that she once forgot somewhere over there. Her desire to improvise; to create unfiltered, lucid and meandering utterances, underpins her writing, pedagogy, performance, installation and film works.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
