Working at the intersection of drawing and animation, Rebet has developed a meticulous, labor-intensive practice grounded in hand-drawn imagery. Her films evolve through vivid color and continuously shifting forms, accompanied by lyrical voice-over narrations. \u201cI am interested in preserving hand-drawn animation for myself because it is my act, my gesture,\u201d she explains. \u201cMy gesture is to draw. The magic of the hand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across her work, Rebet engages with forgotten rituals, sacred landscapes, and oral histories. Shaped by extensive travel and research\u2014from Jamaica and Haiti to the Persian Gulf, Thailand, and Southern Iraq\u2014her films are often created in dialogue with musicians, monks, archaeologists, and other local knowledge holders. Blurring the line between historical fact and imagined forms, her practice foregrounds the elusive, layered, and often unknowable nature of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christine Rebet is the 2026 Toni and Tim Urban Artist-in-Residence.
Sound of Time<\/em> is curated by Associate Curator Ashton Cooper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
