kat's blog
hi! I’m kat, i make sound, performance and visual art in london (and further afield). i run the london community laptop orchestra and generally make art focused on how, as artists, we both heal and hurt ourselves, with a particular focus on the ways in which we can create engaging and raw work while holding ourselves accountable for the perpetuation of self-damaging behaviours through our art.
i also write! normally about gender, identity, art, travel and life.

this is part of my...

Curiosity - at a Palestine / Lebanon protest, me and my partner had two encounters that sparked an interesting confluence. One was with a friend of my partners, she’d just had a long term break up and we had a long chat about the difficulties of...
