We’re excited to be working with José García Oliva on our new Words in Public Spaces commission as part of Peterborough Cultural Alliance’s Place Partnership Programme supported by Arts Council England. We’re still shaping what the project will look like with José and look forward to sharing more soon.
About José García Oliva
José García Oliva is a Venezuelan artist living and working in London. His practice engages with outsourced labour systems, migrant economies, and the hierarchies that shape everyday urban life, interrogating how these structures are experienced, negotiated, and reproduced within shared social spaces.
José works through long-term collaborations that prioritise co-authorship and sustained relationships, influencing how the work is made, shown, and circulated. His projects often unfold through enacted social exchanges or site-responsive provocations, taking the form of performances, drawings, sculptures, and public interventions.
