HI I'M SAMRA MAYANJA

I’m an artist-writer based in London. I make films and performances that I describe as sexy-slapstick-gone-sour. It’s cute, a little gross with a side of sad-girl pop.

I write emotionally resonant dark comedy that speaks to the absurdity of life. For the last 6 years I’ve shown playful performance art and self-produced films at places like Somerset House, The Tetley, South London Gallery, Camden People's Theatre and Centre for Contemporary Art Glasgow.

The illegibility of the body concerns me always.

And my gift, I feel a bit shy to say, is in upturning the wicked norms that encourage us to hide.
