Licida Vidal

Licida Vidal (b. 1984) lives and works in Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. She studied Social Sciences at the University of São Paulo (USP). Through performance, photography, video, and installations, her work explores questions of gender and nature within the context of climate emergencies. Her practice weaves together subaltern knowledge, intimate experiences, and academic research in a search for strategies of habitability and the restoration of autonomy to bodies and territories. Licida Vidal is also beneficiary of Shifting Shores / Instabilidades Costeiras, the new artistic residency program in Brazil developed by TBA21–Academy, LACO–IOUSP, and Pivô, supported by the S+T+ARTS Buen-TEK initiative of the European Union.
