PROJECTS
ABOUT
I’m a historian and artist from Margate UK, of mixed (British and Seychelles Creole) heritage. My work focuses on oceanic histories, Indian Ocean Creole heritage.
CITATIONS & MENTIONS
My research has been used to support other works on Seychelles history, Indian Ocean creolisation and island networks – here are a few favourite examples.
It was an honour to have my work recognised by Edward Aplers – one of the foremost historians of the Indian Ocean-world and a pioneer whose work helped open up this field in the 1960s. This is from his keynote speech to open UNESCO’s Routes of Enslaved Peoples conference in Mauritius 2025
“Peter Nicholls has substantially added to our knowledge of slavery in the Seychelles.”
