About me

Cat Dunn is a social art researcher/producer, activist, and artist.

As social art researcher/producer her work seeks to engage and create dialogue about Identity as seen through marginalised communities especially focusing on black womxn, and engages additional inclusive subjects such as the civil rights movement, slavery, racism, and feminism, often investigating those aspects that are all too frequently hidden or misrepresented.

The overall basis of her practice is grounded on creating or adding to Black Space where inclusivity and diversity are key; with varied and diverse approaches to producing curatorial projects including installations, the context of the work must have an impact on the viewer.

Dunn holds a Masters with Distinction in MLitt Curatorial Practice (Contemporary Art) and a BA Hons in Jewellery Design and Silversmithing from The Glasgow School of Art.
