'Freedom is a many feathered thing, and there are people with harder red lines and softer pink lines when it comes to what will achieve it. Kat Hudson, artist, curator and founder of some of London’s most iconic nightlife movements, is all about looking at the validity of both of those lines.'  - Tom Rasmussen for LOVE Magazine

Katherine 'Kat' Hudson is a multimedia artist and writer who works closely with archives and libraries. Kat has curated notable community-focused exhibitions and nightlife events and lives and works in London, England.

Kat's personal art practice explores individual multiplicity, collaborative creation, community wellbeing and performing utopia through drawing, painting, collage and sound. Her curatorial practice explores queer intersectional feminism, the work of her peers and subcultural art and nightlife movements in London.

Most recently, Kat has been collaborating with friends in her personal practice, alongside focussing on her public library work in East London. Specialising in digital literacy and promoting reading for fun, for the benefit of public health.

​​

In recent years, Kat has been commissioned to write critically and speak publicly on the subject of contemporary art and culture. Kat has spoken publicly at Tate Modern and Oxford University and her writing has been published in notable publications including Frieze Magazine.
