Overview

Meera Shakti Osborne’s work is interested in the potential of art as a tool in making visible both personal and shared histories. Osborne’s new commission, presented as their first solo exhibition in a public gallery, marks the culmination of their time as the Peer Ambassador Artist in Residence 2023-24. Over their residency Osborne has been working closely with Peer Ambassadors in a unique rolling six-month, creative programme designed for, and led by, young people aged 17-25 from underrepresented and lower socio-economic backgrounds based in Peer’s local area. For their exhibition at Peer, Osborne is producing a body of work that brings numerous voices together to comment on the damaging effects of government policies, such as Prevent, as well as addressing wider questions on freedom of expression and freedom of self.
