A Peterborough Wall Story
An exhibition by Nathan 'Nyces' Murdoch

Diesel Streets brings the energy, creativity, and raw expression of street art off the walls of the city and into the gallery, here at Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery. This bold new exhibition shines a spotlight on a once-underground culture, celebrating the artists, stories, and creativity that exist across Peterborough’s streets.

Diesel Streets - exhibition highlights

Diesel Streets brings together an archive of the city’s street art, built up over many years, with a central collection of Nathan’s personal work. The exhibition looks back at the arrival of graffiti in Peterborough during the 1980s and explores how those early street artists influenced the vibrant and diverse street art scene seen today.

This immersive and interactive exhibition brings street art from the streets into the gallery space, offering visitors a rare opportunity to engage with an art form traditionally experienced outdoors and fleetingly.

Special installations created exclusively for the exhibition will be on display, alongside a limited opportunity to purchase Nathan’s artwork.
