about

Lidia Lisbôa’s practice is carried out in different mediums, mainly sculpture, crochet, performances, and drawings. The weaving of biographies is at the core of her research, covering the axis of landscape, the body, and memory by using materials on which the artist’s hand and gesture are imprinted. 

The result of a constant artistic practice that merges with life, in Lisbôa’s work, sewing and the crafting of narratives stand as exercises in subjective construction and, thus, in healing and re-signification.

Her most recent solo shows are Ofício: Fio: Lidia Lisbôa: Mulher Esqueleto, Sesc Pompeia, São Paulo, Brazil (2023), Acordelados, Millan, São Paulo, Brazil (2022), and Memórias do afeto, Centro Cultural Santo Amaro, São Paulo, Brazil (2021).
