Howe

Howe (1971, American) is an artist, writer and post-graduate researcher at the University of Leeds where they are pursuing a Ph.D. in Practice-led research entitled Collecting Rape: Collation, Curation and Response to every item in the Victoria and Albert Museum and Archives that takes Rape as its subject. Howe holds an MA from Kingston University in Creative Writing, an MA from the Royal College of Art in Painting, a BA from Arizona State University in Art History.

Kate Howe is an interdisciplinary artist with a research-led practice whose work looks at historical representations of violence against women and girls and questions the impact these objects have in forming contemporary social norms. Howe works in painting, installation, performance, writing, and social engagement in response to their research, creating moments to reframe historical violence and opportunities to figure a future in which we feel comfortable stepping outside our implicit biases to cease subjugating each other.
