The Horizons Shimmering Slows Down All Other Perceptions, Meera Shakti Osborne, 2026⁠
⁠
Created for Fieldhead Hospital as part of our Yorkshire project, and now on show in What Art Can Change at The Art House, Wakefield.⁠
Taking its title from Etel Adnan's Shifting the Silence, the work grew out of workshops where participants explored horizons, nature and the self, alongside the gardens at The Hepworth Wakefield. Its colours come from things noticed together, like yellow grass with small hints of purple and green.⁠
⁠
Look closely and you'll find a small grass shape, representing softness, movement and the ability to keep going, and springs inspired by a service user's tattoo design imagining a "spring in your step". In an early workshop, a participant shared an image of an open door leading to a sunset sky, and that sense of cycles and starting again runs through the work. The fading light is a reminder that the sun will rise again.⁠
⁠
Meera is a multimedia artist and youth worker from London whose work explores landscapes as sites of reckoning and renewal, where apocalypses and utopias sit side by side.⁠
⁠
Join Meera at The Art House on 27 October for Shimmering Horizons, a free workshop exploring personal futures through painting, writing and conversation. Link in bio.⁠
⁠
⁠📅 What Art Can Change, open until 31 October 2026, The Art House, Wakefield⁠

On March 18th 1979, the Organisation of Women of African and Asian Descent (OWAAD) held the National Black Women’s Conference in Brixton, the first of its kind to address the specific issues faced by Asian, Caribbean and African women living in Britain. As well as talks, performances and workshops, the programme also featured a screening of the Bolivian film Blood Of The Condor, hosted in the Abeng Centre, now known as the Karibu Centre.

On March 18th 2025, we organised a screening of the film in the same space, inviting OWAAD co-founder Gail Lewis and curator and filmmaker Rabz Lansiquot to be in conversation. Reflecting on this discussion which attempted to join the dots between Brixton and the Andes, the ‘70s and now, artist and audience member Meera Shakti Osborne revisits the notes they made in real time to reflect on the hauntings, inheritance and transformation of collective organising.

👯‍♀️ Sisterhood Sessions with Meera Shakti Osborne (@mso_4rt)

Throughout November and December 2025 artist Meera Shakti Osborne met with Reach Up Youth’s (@reachupyouthcharity) Sisterhood group at the Verdon Recreation Centre in Burngreave.

Meera designed a series of workshops that explored love, sisterhood, home, and connection through different types of art making. The workshops were a space for the young women to be with one another and to creatively connect with themselves in a caring and supportive environment.

The activities were about listening to and connecting with our inner voices, finding new ways to be playful and expressing familiar feelings through art. We created zines about our names and our areas, checked in on our internal weather, drew our voices and ourselves, tried somatic breathing exercises, hummed, balanced bamboo canes on our fingertips, played games, and gave sound to words, memories, and colours through exercises inspired by Pauline Oliveros.

Here’s one for you to try: Old Sound, New Sound, Borrowed Sound Blue (Pauline Oliveros 1994)

OLD SOUND - A sound that you remember from a long time ago
NEW SOUND - A sound you never made before
BORROWED SOUND - a sound that you borrow from someone else
BLUE SOUND - a sound that is blue for you

Big thanks to the young women who took part in the project, the young leaders for organising the sessions with us and to Reach Up Youth!

Earlier this summer we went on a site visit with Meera Shakti Osborne [@mso_4rt] to find the perfect spot to host Clearing - an invitation to gather in nature. 🏞️

Together we'll build a shelter amongst the pines using natural dyed fabric to share tea and digest Meera's reflections on mangroves, entangled trees that grow at the ecotone of land and sea.

Free and open to all, this is the final event of our late summer programme At The Meadow's Edge.

Join us Saturday 20th September for communal listening, sharing and dreaming - link via our bio to book. 🔗 taken in Croydon, United Kingdom by @mso_4rt
