Peckham Platform celebrates the Rye Lane Reconnected Project (2023-2024) with two free events in March.
This event is an online conversation between Levi Naidu-Mitchell and artists Nabiséré Nicole & Zethu Maseko.
Nabiséré Nicole, founder of KAKAZI studio, explores African and Caribbean diasporan perspectives in contemporary design and living. Zethu Maseko’s art delves into the deep connection between water, humanity, and the land through tapestry.
This event provides a fantastic opportunity to learn more about these artists and how they connect memory, craft and belonging.
Rye Lane Reconnected has worked with commissioned artists and young people from Southwark’s Youth Justice Service, South London Refugee Association, and Inspire Walworth to celebrate the vibrant locality, revitalise the use of public and commercial spaces, explore community identity, and amplify the voices of those with the greatest social needs to express themselves on their own terms. This co-commission was made possible with generous funding and support from Arts Council England, Art Fund, Culture Together, Cleaner Greener Safer, Neighborhood fund, London Borough of Southwark and Grocers Foundation.
Online conversation with Nabiséré Nicole & Zethu Maseko on Monday, March 18th at 1:30-2:30PM
Panel discussion with artists Meera Shakti Osborne and Tyreis Holder Celebration Event on March 20th from 5:30-8 PM at Lex2.
