Katya Urban is an artist and organizer who utilizes performance, sound, sculpture, and installation in a quest to access collective memory and communal grief held within the spaces she engages. Through her work, she endeavors to evoke empathy, sever cycles of violence, and create space for us to heal our relationship with the land and each other in a world where our right to grieve has been taken. Her art practice is also intertwined with her relationship to the local DIY music scene in Los Angeles. She was raised in New York on occupied Lenape lands and is currently based in Los Angeles on occupied Chumash and Tongva lands.
