Tegan Peacock is a performance artist and creator, currently based in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Through her work she aims to rethink, redefine and redirect the creation of art and believes in using art as a tool to address accessibility and create dialogue, in order to bring about social change.

Tegan is the founder of ReRouting Arts and has worked with artists from different artistic genres, creating contemporary dance works that have been presented at festivals, both nationally and internationally.

As an independent artist, Tegan has been included in residency programmes that have allowed her to work and learn from diverse artists including: Boyzie Cekwana; Desire Davids and Faustin Linyekula. These have been invaluable in developing her personal artistic processes and creating relevant work as an African, female artist.

In 2019, Tegan conceptualised and actualized the first ReRouting Arts Festival. The festival is site-specific in nature and presents multi-disciplinary content in diverse public spaces. Public space becomes an artistic playground for artists and the community. Addressing accessibility to spaces and the arts, the festival aims to give artists a platform to engage with the local community while building bridges between different cultures.
