A Hibernation Ill-Spent

A Hibernation Ill-spent is a lecture performance in the midst of its creative process. It embraces the embarrassment of the unmistakable mess that emerges the moment one dares to hibernate as an artistic approach — within a world that is switched ‘on’ 24/7.

• Tine Deboelpaep (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist. Her current research focuses on how our ideas of self-reliance and well-being have been historically shaped by predominant political and economic conditions. These inter­ests man­i­fest them­selves through (inter­ac­tive) sculp­tures, instal­la­tions, lecture performances and participative performances, which explore alternative ways of interdependence and community building. Her methodology is guided by intersectional feminism, disability justice and dramaturgical principles. She is committed to artistic development as a process rooted in interconnectedness and exchange. In addition to her practice, she actively engages in artistic support work, contributing her expertise in policy-making, coordination and guidance of creative processes to artist-run initiatives, organizations, and individual artists.
