Peter Watkins (b.1984) is an artist and photographer with a BA in Photographic Arts from the University of Westminster and an MA from the Royal College of Art in London. His long-term autobiographical work explores themes of loss, trauma, and history, meditating on the processes of archiving and remembering. He explores how personal histories are preserved or lost through memorialization. Peter has exhibited internationally, most notably with his project The Unforgetting, and more recently with Mother Tongue, first shown at Galerie NoD in Prague in 2022. He also teaches at Prague City University, and is a frequent guest speaker at several UK universities. His work has been featured in The Guardian, Photoworks Magazine, Paper Journal, and The British Journal of Photography, among others. In 2018, he won the Guernsey International Photography Award, and in 2019, his book The Unforgetting received the Skinnerboox Award, launching at Polycopies during Paris Photo that same year. His work is held in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Museum Winterthur in Switzerland.
