About

I'm Meg. I make co-created immersive environments that translate emotional and social experience into spatial, sensory form.

I work collaboratively with communities to shape artworks that emerge through conversation, making and shared reflection.

My interest lies less in individual narratives and more in the spaces between them - where experiences overlap, echo and diverge. Using sound, crafts and immersive installation, I build environments that audiences enter rather than observe.

These works are designed to be felt as much as understood, holding complexity without forcing resolution.

My practice is rooted in care, listening and place, and is driven by a belief that collective creative processes can open up new ways of sensing ourselves, each other and the world around us.

AND BREATHE

Workshop programme & 360° film installation
SEA FOR YOURSELF Artist Residency
2026

And Breathe is a 15-minute immersive film experience created during an artistic residency as part of the Sea for Yourself programme. Presented inside Market Hall’s Immersive Dome, the work invites audiences to slow down, reflect, and reconnect – with the sea, with creativity, and with themselves.

At the centre of And Breathe is a participatory process that values collaboration over authorship. I co-designed the film with Plymouth residents aged 55+, through a series of workshops that combined collage-making, sound recording, coastal walking and shared reflection.

reviews

" And Breathe was created as a fully immersive 360° experience, designed specifically for Market Hall’s Immersive Dome. The film weaves together animated collages, collectively built soundscapes, and footage captured during coastal walks, allowing multiple voices, emotions and sensations to coexist. The result is an experience that holds space for care, joy, grief and responsibility without trying to resolve them. It invites audiences to reflect on their own relationship with the sea – not just as a landscape, but as a presence that shapes wellbeing, memory and identity.

Megan's deeply collaborative approach demonstrates exactly the kind of innovative, community-centred work we want to champion. "

"In Plymouth Hoe, Roberts invites us to reflect on how communities evolve, reshape their identities, and use public spaces to reflect a more inclusive and diverse future. The film challenges us to think of spaces like Plymouth Hoe as living entities, capable of holding both memory and transformation.

As the film highlights the changing nature of Plymouth Hoe, it raises important questions about the future of public spaces. How can we continue to decolonise spaces to make them more inclusive for diverse communities? How can we create new spaces of belonging that reflect the identities of modern society?

Megan Roberts’ Plymouth Hoe contributes significantly to these conversations, offering valuable insights into how spaces—whether physical, cultural, or historical—can be transformed to better reflect the diversity of the people who use them."

"Having experienced two of Megan's workshops I feel I have got to know her and I have seen first hand what an inspiring participatory artist she really is. Her calm and caring nature and love for the environment and the community around her most definitely shines through in her practice.

I love Megan's approach to film making and how she centres on communities as co-creators rather than subjects. Megan's workshops are delightful undoubtedly thought provoking and have created a wonderful legacy for Plymouth and its heritage."
