rachel walker-konno

Rachel Walker-Konno (Amsterdam, 1990) is a writer, mixed-media artist and activist obsessed with banishing thoughts of the capitalist apocalypse and replacing these with visions of a caring feminist economy. Embedded in actions and objects mimicking everyday routines, Rachel takes her audiences on a ride of re-imagination through playful participatory performances that are part confession, part manifesto.
