Collection: Christian Offman

Christian Offman (*1993 in Nyanza, Rwanda) lives and works in Bologna and Munich. His works – primarily sculptures and installations – are characterized by a multifaceted exploration of memory, identity, and historical ruptures. Raised between Rwanda and Lombardy, his practice combines influences from both cultural regions and reflects the ambivalences of a postcolonial self-image. In Offman's work, geography appears not as a space of unlimited possibilities, but as a sequence of social and legal boundaries. This experience shapes an artistic stance that locates the personal in the political without seeking to be explicitly political. His works have been exhibited internationally, including in Paris, Toronto, Rome, New York, and the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in Washington. Offman studied at art schools in Bologna, Münster, and Munich and is the winner of the Artissima "MADE IN Vol.2" project 2024.
