Katrina Majkut

Katrina Majkut (My’kut), a visual artist and writer, is dedicated to understanding how social traditions impact civil rights. She uniquely employs observational painting techniques in the embroidery medium of cross-stitch and a new feminist fourth wave strategy she calls Boomerang Intersectionalism to create her artwork. Majkut exhibits nationally in both commercial and college galleries, where she lectures on women’s issues, art activism, and textile arts. She was listed as one of four international artists starting a new chapter in feminist art by Mic Media and listed as a must-see artist by Hyperallergic magazine. She was a 2019 AIM fellow at the Bronx Museum (NY) and resident at the Feminist Incubator Residency (Project for Empty Space, NJ); 2019 selected exhibitions include group shows at Dorsky Gallery (NY), Mills Gallery (MA), and University of Maryland. In 2020, she will be the Social Practice Artist in Residence at Emmanuel College. Majkut has done an Instagram art takeover for Planned Parenthood, exhibited at Spring Break, A.I.R. Gallery, Victori + Mo Gallery, CUNY College of Staten Island, Babson College, the Mint Museum, and was an artist in residence at MASS MoCA. Majkut published her first non-fiction book in 2018, The Adventures and Discoveries of A Feminist Bride, which aims to make weddings more egalitarian. Her art catalogue is in the library at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, D.C. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. https://katrinamajkut.format.com
