Peer Ambassadors Take Over: New Writing and Poetry

Join us for an afternoon of new writing and poetry to celebrate the closing of Okiki Akinfe’s exhibition RM9 5AN.
About this Event

Peer Ambassadors is an alternative, participant-led ‘art school’ that works with and supports young people aged 17-25 from underrepresented and working-class backgrounds based in Hackney and Tower Hamlets.
Working in collaboration with Shoreditch Library, the 2026 cohort of Peer Ambassadors are spending time with artists, writers and historians to explore creative writing, storytelling and overlooked local histories. For this event, they will host an afternoon of readings, which respond to Akinfe’s exhibition, as well as their own experiences of memory, identity, and place-making.
This event is free, with a suggested donation of £3.
Peer aims to be open and accessible to all. Find further details on how to access our space here.
