video still Heavy Bones (2019)

Maybelle Peters is a London-based artist and filmmaker whose work spans digital video, film, CGI, and textiles.  With an interest in experimental narrative, her practice explores black corporeality as movement in time and space using an archive of ephemera, gestures and sounds. She gained her bachelor’s degree in Animation at UCA, Farnham where her first commissioned film, A Lesson In History (1990) for BBC2 was followed by an animated film based on Frantz Fanon’s book, ‘Black Skin, White Masks’.  She is the recipient of the inaugural Womxn of Colour art award 2020 and has recently presented work at Primary, Nottingham, Alchemy Film and Video Festival, Hawick and Third Horizon Film Festival in Miami.  Maybelle holds a doctorate in creative technology from the University of the Arts, where her practice-based inquiry examined extractivism through motion capture technology.
