Lauren Rechere

Artists

Lauren Rechere is a spatial designer and project coordinator who has worked across live events, exhibitions and festivals within publicly funded cultural organisations, supporting artists and community groups to bring public programmes to life.

Alongside this, she is a diasporic decolonial lyric poet exploring Black memory, ecological inheritance and ancestral cosmology as forms of intimate resistance. Her practice is rooted in collective healing and community storytelling.

2026

In 2026 Lauren worked with maker/designer Sebastian T Heske to design and build a bespoke Mobile Archive for Peckham Platform. The Mobile Archive is both a moveable resource unit on wheels, storing books, drawing materials, audio and headsets, and a modular piece of furniture, incorporating shelves, a fold out table and six stools. It enables the Peckham Platform team to respond to community interests and themes with a co-curated selection of resources and can be configured to fit the needs of workshops, events or exhibitions. The Mobile Archive was commissioned as a follow-up to Memories for the Future, a two year community-led programme that researched and responded to the intangible heritage of the people who shaped Peckham’s iconic Rye Lane.
