Sarah Vanhee
Sarah Vanhee is an artist, performer and author, whose work has been featured on major international stages, as well as within the visual arts, film and literature, over the past two decades. She is known for original art forms that manifest themselves both inside and outside the institution. Her art is driven by radical imagination and social commitment. Embedded in a performative practice, Vanhee operates trans-disciplinary and cross-sectorally, and regularly through co-creation. For her, art is a tool to bring underexposed stories and non-dominant voices to the foreground. Vanhee has worked in theatres, hospitals, libraries, community centres, prisons, private living rooms, open fields, corporate meeting rooms, etc. Recent works include, amongst others, Words Service (a public service), Mémé (stage performance), bodies of knowledge (nomadic classroom), collected screams (lecture-performance), Unforetold (stage performance), The Making of Justice (film), Oblivion (stage performance), etc. While strongly embedded locally, Vanhee's work has been presented widely internationally in diverse contexts such as Wiener Festwochen (AT), Museo Reina Sofia (Madrid), Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), FTA (Montreal), Festival d’Automne (Paris), Festival Actoral (Marseille), PuSh Festival (Vancouver), Jihlavava IDFF, Van Abbe Museum (Eindhoven), Centre Pompidou (Metz), Short Theatre (Rome), HAU (Berlin) , Printemps de Septembre (Toulouse), Forum Alpbach, Noorderzon (Groningen), Theater Frascati (Amsterdam), etc. As an artist, she was associated with CAMPO (since 2009) and Manyone (2015-2022). Since 2023, she is supported by HIROS. Vanhee collaborated on Untranslatables and is the author of Lecture For Every One (APE), The Miraculous Life of Claire C (Onomatopee) and TT (Campo). She has published several texts within artistic and academic contexts. In 2022, she obtained her artistic doctorate from ARIA and KCA.
