Katherine Araniello
Katherine Araniello is a performance/video artist and creator of SBC (Sick Bitch Crip).

Katherine Araniello trained in Fine Art at London Guildhall University (1996-99) and Goldsmiths College (2002-2004).

The concept behind her work is to disrupt and use satire in current issues relating to disability such as assisted suicide, media representation, prejudice, charity, ignorance and body aesthetics.

Her work has been shown internationally at galleries and festivals including; Tate Modern, Tate Britain, The Nunnery, the Canadian Arts and Disability Festival, ICA, Purcell Room at Southbank Centre, Hitparaden - an international festival for performance at the Pumpehuset in Copenhagen and at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts (UICA), Michigan.

Recent work
In 2014, commissioned by Unlimited and performed at the Southbank Centre, Araniello performed 'The Dinner Party Revisited', which sees the artist play host to six television monitor “guests”, all played by Araniello. Their unscripted interactions with her live presence and her alcohol infused butler form a satirical and darkly comic take on some of the clichés around disability. 'The Dinner Party Revisited' was also turned into a screening and publication.

Channel 4 broadcast her short film 'Oh! What a Lovely Lovely Ward' as part of their World War 1 Shorts series in 2014.
