The Hide
See what might not always be visible... The Hide is a live solo performance audio installation where birdwatching meets non-visible disability.
Step into The Hide and see what might not always be visible. The Hide is a live birdwatching experience, led by artist Tilly Ingram. Tilly shares her love of birdwatching, her struggles as a woman with a non-visible disability and the story of a disabled white-tailed eagle. Whilst looking for birds, we can also stop and think about how we look at nature and how we look at people.
The Hide gives us time to sit, appreciate and watch the spaces around us, that we may have never truly looked at. The piece asks us to enter the space, and as you use your binoculars and spotters card remember that there is more than what you cannot see there.
Tilly Ingram is an artist whose practice is centred around our relationship with wildness, nature, and fear. Exploring these from her experiences as a woman with a non-visible disability, her work is often playful, joyous, and provocative.
The Hide is supported by Without Walls and commissioned by Brighton Festival and Norfolk & Norwich Festival.
Brighton Festival is part of Without Walls, a network of organisations bringing innovative outdoor arts to towns and cities across England. Find out more on withoutwalls.uk.com.
