Kate Donovan
Kate Donovan is a practicing radio artist, facilitator and researcher based in Berlin. Her artistic practice deals with radio in an elemental sense, in terms of frequency, transmission and interconnectedness (but also disruption and interference). She is actively involved in Archipel Stations Community Radio, CoLaboRadio/Free Radios Berlin Brandenburg, and Datscha Radio Berlin, where she produces radio works, coordinates radio (art) events, and generally supports (live) radio-making. Kate studied Fine Art: Time Based Media (BA hons) at the Hull School of Art, UK, and Anglophone Modernities in Literature and Culture (MA) at the University of Potsdam, with a thesis titled Expanding Radio. Ecological thinking and trans-scalar encounters in contemporary radio art practice. She is part of the research group ‘SENSING. The Knowledge of Sensitive Media‘, at ZeM/Potsdam University and is working on a PhD project titled ‘More-than-human Radio Ecologies.’
