Nelly Kate

Nelly Kate (she/her) is a studio artist with an expanded practice in sound. She treats access as a site for poetic translation through the lens of Queer and late-Deaf experience. Her practice is about reaching across the senses to translate phenomena which our bodies sense but cannot readily name. It often takes the form of installation, print, video, sound, performance, and text.

Nelly insists upon things like: films that are slow, spaces that are soft, the awkwardness of inclusion, saying more, and repeating ourselves. She hails from the American South and works on the lands of the Pawtucket, Massachusett, and Naumkeag nations.
