Francesca Hawker (born 1992, UK) lived in Brussels. She works across the fields of performance, poetry, installation, music, self-publishing, and comedy. Prevalent themes include failure, friendship, and the maintenance of communal fantasies. She often works collaboratively 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."
