Samra Mayanja is an artist and writer based in London, England. Her practice, which spans various mediums, is unified by an obsession with how life speaks poetry. Her work is always seeking form, to move beyond strictures and to be lost and free. In her work, the voice 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.
