Francesca Hawker (born 1992, UK) is an artist and performer living in Brussels. She works in and on the live context and its leaky social, spatial, and temporal boundaries, utilising different media ranging from spoken word performance, poetry, installation, music, and self-publishing. Her work is inherently collaborative and humorous, as it takes place within the “slapstick of ordinary relation”, defined by Lauren Berlant as a way of “trying to stay in the same enough conversation in order to build something together that neither of us could build by ourselves." She is currently a PhD candidate and teacher at LUCA School of Arts in Gent, where she is researching the role played by embarrassment in performance frameworks.
