About Meera Shakti Osborne
Focusing on collective healing through self-expression, Meera Shakti Osborne’s practice engages with accessibility and confidence building in both formal education settings and casual encounters. Working across sound, digital media, oil paint, textiles, breathing, talking, and dancing, their work explores the potential of art as a tool in making visible both personal and shared histories often forgotten or omitted. In recent years the artist has focused on questions around history-making, dreaming, the ethics of collaboration and processes that allow for flexing, glitches and love.
Shakti Osborne is currently Peer Gallery Ambassador Artist in Residence 2023-24 and Research Associate at iniva. Meera graduated in Design at Central School of Speech and Drama in 2015 and Cairo Institute of Liberal Arts and Science in 2018.
In 2023 the artist was selected as an awardee of the second edition of the LOEWE FOUNDATION / Studio Voltaire Award.
