British visual artist Kate Daudy inscribed and embroidered a UNHCR tent with the words of refugees to share their message. The resulting artwork, “Am I my Brother’s Keeper?” has been exhibited at St Paul’s Cathedral, London, Manchester Art Gallery, BIAS Palermo, and throughout Spain, where it has been put on the national curriculum.
Daudy’s work is based on research and collaboration. As artist-in-resident at the Saatchi Gallery, London, she collaborated with Egyptologists at Oxford to respond to the blockbuster Tutankhamun exhibition with her critically acclaimed accompanying exhibit, “It Wasn’t That At All” (2019-2020). In collaboration with Nobel-prize winning scientist Kostya Novoselov, she fuses disciplines to explore the dual concepts of chaos and harmony.
Recently, Louis Vuitton named her a “Visionary” as part of their Louis 200 campaign that saw her specially designed trunk travel the world before being auctioned.
A Q&A and a coupe de champagne will follow the artist’s talk.
