Samra Mayanja is a London-based artist, performer and writer. Her work examines the body’s illegibility and the absurdity of seeking what is inherently lost, ‘a clown-like pursuit of the impossible’. The theme of searching — futile yet hopeful — runs through Samra’s work. She has performed and exhibited nationally and internationally in galleries and theatres, including Somerset House, South London Gallery, Kampnagel and Transmediale, among others.
