Kamina Walton is a multidisciplinary artist, creative coach and founder of Rising Arts Agency.
Historically her practice has been sited in community, conversation and collaboration, with work developed over extended periods of time and shared in public spaces. More recently she’s made a shift from facilitating others’ stories to foregrounding her own through live, body-centred performance. Working with movement, text and conversation, she is claiming visibility as a 62-year-old artist, exploring ageing, grief and presence.
Kamina gained a BA (Hons) in Film, Video and Photographic Arts at the Polytechnic of Central London in the early 1980s. It was the radical teaching around the politics of representation that has influenced the way she thinks and works ever since. In the mid-1990s she was awarded an MA in Design and Media Arts from the University of Westminster. In 2015 she graduated from the Extend Leadership Programme. She joined the Spike Island studio community in 2008.
