  • Roger Peet

    Roger Peet is an artist, printmaker, muralist and writer living in Portland, Oregon. His visual work focuses on civilized bad ideas, predator-prey relationships and the contemporary crises of biodiversity and Capitalism and what can and can’t be done about them. His writing addresses the politics and history of social relationships with the natural world. He is a founding member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative and helps to run the cooperative Flight 64 print studio in Portland. He collaborates with artists, organisers and scientists globally and locally in the service of a more generous and a wilder world.

    His works Dig Up The Sun (2022) and Weight of the Ore (2024) – tracing the invisibilised Congolese labor and uranium extraction behind the Manhattan Project – are featured in Framer Framed’s exhibition Between Fires: Irradiated Imaginations and Anti-Nuclear Solidarities (2026).
