Artist's Statement

Katherine Megumi Shozawa is a socially engaged artist and educator whose community practice spans more than twenty years, ranging from a neon sign conceived for an installation with design students in Cambridge, MA to a public weaving project and survey about affordable housing in Vancouver, Canada. While the work is diverse in scope, her projects are linked by a common focus on marginalized communities and histories, including her own, and the visual and cultural vitality of inclusive relationships in public space.
