Cathrine Alice Liberg (b.1988) is an artist and printmaker based in Oslo. She works with traditional printmaking methods such as mezzotint, etching and lithography. Being of Norwegian and Chinese-Singaporean heritage, her mixed background has shaped her artistry. Through printmaking she explores diaspora, migration, global trade and cultural hybridity – themes that largely emerged through the ability of the printed medium to spread text, images and maps of foreign places. Personal family histories, and how they represent fragments of larger global narratives, lie at the core of each project. She is particularly interested in the distortion of memories and cultural understanding that occurs through migration and the passing of time – asking whether or not we can ever become reliable narrators of our ancestors’ stories.

Liberg received her MFA in Medium- and Material Based Art from the Oslo National Academy of Fine Arts in 2019. Her residency at Skaftfell is generously supported by Arts Council Norway.
