Katherine Kennedy is a Barbadian cultural practitioner. She graduated from Lancaster University, UK, and has taken part in exhibitions and residencies locally, regionally and internationally. Since 2011, she has worked for the Fresh Milk Art Platform, Barbados as the Communications and Operations Manager, and has co-managed programmes such as the Caribbean Linked residency & exhibition programme and the Transoceanic Visual Exchange (TVE) video, film and new media exhibitions.
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. Her writing has appeared in publications such Caribbean InTransit and Robert & Christopher Publishers’ A-Z of Caribbean Art. In 2021, she was selected for the CCCADI Afro-Caribbean Art Curatorial Fellowship. She is currently a part-time history/theory tutor in the Division of Fine Arts at Barbados Community College.
