Tilly Ingram - The Hide
An audio piece driven by live birdwatching, The Hide is both an installation and an audio experience led by artist Tilly Ingram that reflects on hidden disabilities. The piece offers a space to sit—binoculars and a bird ID spotting at the ready—and consider what might not be immediately evident to the eye while listening to Tilly’s own story with an invisible disability. Supported by Without Walls, Brighton Festival, Norfolk and Norwich Festival.
The Hide
Tilly Ingram (she/her) is an artist whose practice is centred around our relationship with wildness, nature, and fear. Exploring these from her experiences as a woman with an invisible disability, her work is often playful, joyous, and provocative.
