Kathleen de Meeûs

Kathleen (aka Kat dems) is a freelance illustrator based between Brussels and Tunis.

Facing a compartmentalized world, violently unequal, in which the dominant and dominated social classes barely meet, she believes that art has the ability to build bridges. Her projects seek to connect artists with different backgrounds, cultures and experiences to patch up our compartmentalized societies. By addressing themes that resonates in all of us, she aims at reinventing collective spaces, allowing different daily lives and social classes to meet together. A feminist and activist, she intends to hinder patriarchal and Western-oriented biases by privileging collaborations with artists from minority groups.
