Meera Shakti Osborne is an artist and youth worker from London working across multiple disciplines with a focus on collective healing through creative self-expression. Their practice engages with accessibility and confidence building with marginalised people in both formal education settings and casual encounters. Meera is interested in the use of art as a tool to come together, creating small worlds of protection and openness. They believe art's use lies in recording feelings and the in-between stuff that often gets left out of history making. They work in zines, oil paint, audio, digital media, textile, breathing, talking, dancing, glitching and love. Shakti Osborne is a Studio Voltaire Resident and was a research associate at Iniva in 2024 and has worked with Peer Gallery, Cubitt Artists, Drawing Room, Focal Point Gallery, The GAP Arts Project, Glasgow Zine Library, iniva, New Town Cultures, Newbridge Project, Nottingham Contemporary, Peckham Platform, Reprezent FM and is a visiting lecturer at UAL.
