A Proud Day

and in the center of the main room were two of Kate's hats, the Muttering Hat and the Talk to Yourself Hat.  Always an out-of-the box thinker, Kate brings humor to questions of communication and socialization through her various devices, while seriously considering the relationships between things and people.


Also on exhibit was a group project she co-created called Botanicalls. If you follow this link be sure to click on "classic" to see a clever "newsreel".

Kate is currently a professor at OCAD university in Toronto, just finished directing a summer program at New York University and this past March gave a TED talk in California.

As we left the museum and went on to other adventures, we bid a fond


Such a memorable experience!
