Experience THE HiDE by Tilly Ingram Theatre at Careys Secret Garden.
The Migration Festival returns to Careys Secret Garden for Part Two: Bringing Nature Back (13-15 February), a winter gathering dedicated to the extraordinary movements of the natural world, with a particular focus on birds and wildlife.
On Saturday 14 February, Activate present THE HiDE, a live solo performance installation led by disabled artists about birdwatching and hidden disability. The show asks you to stop and consider what might not be immediately obvious to the eye. Step into the stillness of THE HiDE and see what might not always be visible. The Hide is a live birdwatching experience, where Tilly shares her love of birdwatching, her struggles as a woman with a non-visible disability, and the story of G463, a disabled White-Tailed Eagle who started her love affair with birds. Whilst we look for birds, THE HiDE gives us time to sit and appreciate the spaces around us, that we may have never truly looked at and remember that there is more than what you cannot see.
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.
