Title: Immigrant Artist: Practice of Memory, Displacement and Desire
Abstract: Exploring migration, memory, place and origin, via installation, sculpture, video, painting and performance, visual interdisciplinary artist Katya Grokhovsky mines family archives and her memories of Ukraine, as well as her experience of dual migration to Australia and to the U.S by employing the notion of play and material experimentation, as a transformative, innovative and soothing gesture at the time of “war at home”.
Katya is a Ukrainian born, NYC based Artist, and the Founding Director of The Immigrant Artist Biennial. In Fall 2023, she is a Visiting Professor at The Manetti Shrem California Studio in the Department of Art and Art History.
The talk is organized by the UC Davis Global Migration Center and co-sponsored by the Department of Art and Art History.
