Katherine Kennedy

Born 1990 in Barbados.

Katherine Kennedy won a Barbados Scholarship for tertiary education and graduated from Lancaster University/UK with a degree in Creative Arts (2008–2011). Her combined major of Fine Art and Creative Writing developed her interests in visual and literary pursuits. She has won awards for her artwork and writing in her home country Barbados, and exhibited locally and internationally. She is currently working as the assistant for the directors of The Fresh Milk Art Platform, an artist-led initiative and residency program, and the ARC Magazine for contemporary Caribbean art. 

Her visual practice is heavily tied to a sense of place using interplay between found organic and inorganic objects to assert cultural identity in different environments.

Katherine Kennedy travelled to the Instituto Buena Bista (IBB)/ Curaçao in November 2012 to conduct Creatives in Conversation, a collaboration between the IBB and The Fresh Milk Art Platform. She received a full fellowship from the Reed Foundation for a residency at The Vermont Studio Center, VT/USA in May 2013. In September 2013, she took part in »fresh casa«, a short, intensive mentorship program at Casa Tomada, São Paulo/Brazil.
