As part of Black History Season 2025, Peer hosted A Garden is a Right, a public sharing of work made by the Peer Ambassadors with artist and spatial designers Sahra Hersi across a series of workshops responding to Khadija’s Garden.

As part of this sharing visitors were also invited to create their own woad seed pouch to take away with them alongside a zine produced by the Ambassadors at the end of the event.
