Meet Katherine Hasegawa

Hello, I’m Katherine an emerging and independent Venezuelan ARTivist based in Cambridge, UK.

Passionate about social entrepreneurship, education, and sustainable development, I obtained a degree in International Business Management at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in Cambridge in 2020, and in May last year, I was awarded the ARU Alumni Sustainability Champion Award 2023. I currently work for the University of Cambridge in the Technology Enhanced Learning Department.

Since 2019, I’ve been using real money as an artistic tool to protest peacefully against acts of injustice. I also use this ‘money’ to support promoting the work of non-profit organizations that align with my work values (empowerment, inclusiveness, freedom, and dignity of life in all its forms).

​

My contributions include live activist performances wearing dresses made entirely with devalued Venezuelan bank notes, canvas and dresses exhibitions, money-art workshops and webinars where I talk about the use of the Arts for activism.
