he/she/they

Striving as an artist-curator, writer, a comedian-in-progress, a multidimensional performer and a diversity analyst, Katherine grew up mostly in Hong Kong. Their research roots in observing the social transformation of the city from a British colony to a post-colonial state. Their work lingers between ancestral thinking, spirituality & healing. They contemplate notions of the cultural, socio-politics, socio-linguistic construction, diasporic identities, confront white supremacy, institutionalised discrimination and toxic heteronormativity with humour. By unfolding their learning through writing, curating, sculptural installation, poetic manifestation, sound, performance and video, their practice is determinedly committed to make fun of the invisible problematic(s) in our current existing cis-hetero-patriarchal-capitalistic system.

They were a former committee member (2018 – 2020) at Transmission Gallery, Glasgow. They were selected as part of the SatelliteProgramme 2021 at Collective, Edinburgh. They also guest curated a group exhibition, breathe, spirit and life 呼吸、靈魂與生命 (Oct 2022 - Jan 2023) at the Bluecoat, Liverpool.

Currently, they are 1/7 of the Committee Members of Liverpool East & South East Asian Network & daughter/son under Haus of Chan, an Asian Performance Collective.
