Dorine van Meel is a Dutch artist who has worked on a variety of moving image installations, performances and publications that address important socio-political questions, modern power structures and modes of resistance. Her work has been exhibited at many international art venues, reflecting her commitment to feminist and self-organised methodologies.
She is currently developing a new film commission through the academic connections she will make during her research visit in February as a Fellow of Loughborough University's Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS). The film is set to explore how the Global North and South can collaborate sustainably and beyond the colonial modes of exhaustion and extraction to build a better world for everyone.
Alongside Loughborough University academics, van Meel has also partnered with artist Felipe Viveros, members of the Futuros Indigenas Network and the Cherani community to develop the film’s script.
As part of her visit, Dorine will give a public artist talk at International House (IAS) on Tuesday 3 February at 12pm, which will be available online as well. The talk will focus on the collaborative dimensions of her arts practice, drawing on the project she is developing as part of her Radar commission. In person and online places must be booked in advance.
Book for Dorine van Meel’s artist talk
‘Rehearsals’ launched in November 2024 and explores practices of world building, which enact and perform more just and sustainable worlds. The arts programme is a series of commissions with artists whose work imagines new worlds or ways of living, from more equitable healthcare systems to climate solidarity networks to embodied forms of justice. The programme connects to research happening across Loughborough University including the Health Humanities research group and Institute of Advanced Studies.
