Katrina Niebergal

installatie - sculptuur - film

Katrina Niebergal (she/her) is a Canadian-(settler-colonial)-born, Rotterdam-based artist, working across various media and processes, including research, experimental filmmaking, scenographic installation, sculpture, sound and language. Increasingly, Katrina is combining these into long-term, multifaceted, story-telling and world-making projects with an emphasis on the condition/s of poetic consciousness; the dubious and multiform subject of the feminine/androgynous “irrational”; and the pre-historic and speculative-future epochs (possible times before and after patriarchy). Her current work, a research-led, experimental filmmaking project, concerns the Moon, the Earthbound and the conquest of space.

Katrina received her MA from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (2019) and her BFA in Visual Arts from Emily Carr University of Art + Design (2013). She was the founder/facilitator of The Pole, Rotterdam (2018–2022), and is currently a member of Filmwerkplaats and the Experimental Pizza Club.
