Kathy Murillo

b. 1997, Nijmegen

Kathy Murillo [they/she], Is a queer, feminist Dutch-Latinx artist in the constant process of learning, unlearning and relearning through art. They are a third year Fine Art student from Holland, Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. Currently doing an exchange program at Central Saint Martins, London, Murillo exhibited their work in a social art project in collaboration with ‘All you can Art’ at Kunsthal Rotterdam, Holland. They also were part of a physical group exhibition at The Holy Art Gallery, Ho Ho Ho Edition and Spake Easy in London, United Kingdom.

“My practice spans painting, collage, video, sculpture, works on paper and installation, as well as writing, performance and publishing, and interventions in public space. My main language is painting but since I’m not able to only communicate in one language as well as only feel from one place in this world I use many different mediums to communicate my musings. Across my different forms and media is an interest in the way identities, experiences, emotional awareness and awareness of the otherness interact within the society.

My projects frequently are loaded by personal experiences related to social concerns nowadays, emotional awareness, musings and speculations. I take intersectionality as my focus to be able to explore these complex interactions and embrace untold narratives to make them visible.

Diversity is within each of us and yet many are blind to it.”

-Murillo
