Lidia Lisbôa‘s practice (Terra Roxa, 1970. Lives in São Paulo) encompasses sculpture, crochet, performances, and drawings. Her research explores biographies, landscapes, the body, and memory through materials that capture the artist’s gesture. Lisbôa’s most recent solo exhibition took place at the Museu de Arte do Rio (Rio de Janeiro, 2024). Lisbôa has participated in group shows at Museo Madre (Naples), Palais des Nations (Geneva), and, in São Paulo, at Museu AfroBrasil, Instituto Tomie Ohtake, and Museu de Arte Moderna. The artist was also part of the 13th Mercosul Biennial (Porto Alegre). Lisbôa’s works are in the collections of the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art and El Museo del Barrio (New York), Pinacoteca de São Paulo, and Sesc São Paulo.
