Sarah Vanhee

Sarah Vanhee is an artist, performer, and author whose work has been presented over the past twenty years on national and international stages, as well as in the fields of visual art, film, and literature. She is known for her consistently original art forms that manifest themselves both within and outside the institution. Her art is driven by radical imagination and social engagement. Embedded in a performative practice, Vanhee operates in a transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral manner, often through co-creation. For her, art is a tool to bring underrepresented stories and non-dominant voices to the forefront. Vanhee has worked in theaters, hospitals, libraries, community centers, prisons, private living rooms, open fields, corporate conference rooms, and more. Recently, she has created, among other works, Dienst Woorden (public word-sharing), Mémé (performance), Bodies of Knowledge (nomadic classroom), Collected Screams (lecture performance), The Making of Justice (film), Oblivion (performance), etc.

Although strongly rooted in the local context, Vanhee’s body of work has been presented internationally in various settings such as KFDA (Brussels), Festival d’automne (Paris), Wiener Festwochen, FTA (Montreal), Museo de Reina Sofia (Madrid), Teatre Lliure (Barcelona), Festival Actoral (Marseille), BIT Teatergarasjen (Bergen), HAU (Berlin), Theater Frascati (Amsterdam), Van Abbe Museum (Eindhoven), Centre Pompidou (Metz), etc.

Vanhee contributed to *Untranslatables* and is the author of *Lecture For Every One* (APE), *The Miraculous Life of Claire C* (Onomatopee), and *TT* (Campo). She has published various texts in artistic and academic contexts. In 2022, she earned her artistic doctorate from ARIA and KCA. In addition to her artistic achievements, Vanhee is active as a public speaker, guest lecturer, consultant, coach, dramaturg, and mentor.
