Cultural Health Worker

The origin of the word ‘culture’ comes directly from Latin cultura; to mean ‘growing, cultivation’
The Oxford Dictionary

Catrin worked as the Deveron Projects' Cultural Health Worker. She first came to Huntly in 2008 as an intern, shortly after graduating from Duncan of Jordanstone. Prior to joining the team in 2013, Catrin developed her practice in socially engaged art and worked on several Deveron Projects projects as a supporting artist. 

Her first supporting artist event complemented Senzeni Marasela’s Jonga: Look at Me where Catrin created a participatory artwork celebrating Barbie’s 50th anniversary. She invited people to swap clothing whilst discussing their personal memories of wearing them, thus giving more value to the material items.

In 2010 Deveron Projects commissioned Catrin to produce a collaborative performance for the Edinburgh Art Festival, where she served 'Non Stop Choice' as an edible product for guests to devour, while questioning the amount of choice they have through consumerism. 'Non Stop Choice' was also performed at the 798 Arts Festival in Beijing.
