A Lesson in History (1989)
Lesson in History was produced when Peters was a student at the West Surrey School of Art and Design. Having read The People Could Fly by Virginia Hamilton, she was inspired to make what she describes as 'the stories of black achievement and how stories had not been told.' The animated film was subsequently screened on the BBC as part of the series 10X10. It was shot on 16mm using cutouts, photography and masks.

Bionic_Dread (2019)
The dread is laying there, a disembodied container carried by the wake. Its reconnection to its past, present and future vibrates as it hums into and through the distance forming its own Space Time as it hears its instructions. This is how to accommodate the ricochets - how to become bionic.

We Deh Here (2025)
Combining stills of historical sites in Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands with audio conversations between the artist and her mother, the film investigates and speculates on their interconnection as an expression of British and Scottish colonialism.

Ocean Going Figurine (2020)
"Ocean Going Figurine" is a single screen performance in which the artist records an assemblage of figurations. Screen recording software witnesses the figuring out and figuring of conversations and movements which have been pulled from a longer iterative sequence. The software used to construct the figures highlights the collaborative process.
