Telling the Bees

Atelier Episode with Kate Daudy

Kate Daudy believes that discussing honey can inspire better communication. A British visual artist and 2024-2025 Fellow at the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, Daudy explores this idea in her ongoing project, Telling the Bees. In this episode, she takes us from the cloud forests of Bolivia to her favorite café on Portobello Road—places that inspire her interdisciplinary art, which delves into intellectual, emotional, and environmental connections.

Atelier is produced by the Columbia Global Paris Center, a Columbia University initiative housed at Reid Hall.

Kate Daudy

Kate Daudy is a British conceptual artist internationally recognised for her public interventions and large-scale outdoor sculpture, who works  across a wide variety of media.

Inventive, complex, and celebratory, Daudy’s projects involve collaborations with people in all fields: science, digital technology, mathematics, poetry, music, a perfume house, the ancient world, and farming. This has led to museum exhibitions, citywide takeovers in Palermo, Spain, Manchester, London and New York City. Her works, a lot of them ephemeral, are juxtaposed in locations ranging from Saint Paul’s Cathedral and the Glastonbury Music Festival bus stops and writings on the back of a sheep.
