Katherine Kennedy

Katherine Kennedy is a Barbadian cultural practitioner. She graduated with a BA in Creative Arts from Lancaster University, UK, and has exhibited locally, regionally and internationally. She currently works for the Fresh Milk Art Platform in Barbados as the communications and operations manager. Katherine’s visual practice is heavily tied to a sense of place, using interplay between organic and inorganic materials and imagery to interrogate the spectrum of belonging and displacement in different environments or cultural contexts. She has undertaken projects and residencies at the Insituto Buena Bista, Curaçao; The Vermont Studio Center, USA; Casa Tomada, Brazil; Akademie Schloss Solitude, Germany; and Punch Creative Arena, Barbados. Her written work has been published with platforms such as Sugarcane Magazine and in Robert & Christopher Publishers’ A-Z of Caribbean Art. Her curatorial credits include the exhibition ‘Social Geometry: Expanded Drawing Practices by Barbadian Artists’ at the Queen’s Park Gallery, Barbados, and in 2021 she was selected as a fellow in the CCCADI Afro-Caribbean Art Curatorial Fellowship.
