katherine agard is from Trinidad and Tobago. she is based in the san francisco bay area. this site is under construction. i’m switching to first person now:

ways to support my continued survival and ability to think:

purchase of colour, commission my writing, invite me to speak/teach/read, consult with me as a reader, editor or guide, pledge to my substack, order the moon’s scythe, order a catalog (a shortcut to exchanging money and other means of value for objects that i make that may or may not aspire to be artwork), buy me a coffee, donate your money, goods, services and your time, change your life so that your attention is directed where it is needed
