Dr Kate Keohane is a Fellow in Art History and Wellbeing at St Edmund Hall and The Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford. Her research centres on the interplay between text and image and the ways in which art can offer alternative models for being-in-the-world. Kate is currently working on her first monograph, which examines how contemporary artists engage with the poetics of place to imagine new forms of relation and resistance. Her writing has been published with Wasafiri, Afterimage, ICOM Routledge, and Art History, and she has written for Tate and the International Curator’s Forum. With Daniella Rose King and Dr Giulia Smith she is the co-editor of the volume ‘Caribbean Eco-aesthetics: Strategies of survival through contemporary art’ (MUP 2025/6). At the Ruskin, she teaches courses on landscape, climate, storytelling, collaborative practice, and critical theory.
