Cida Lima

Cida Lima is a Brazilian visual artist originally from the Sertão da Bahia, whose multicultural experiences across countries like Mozambique, Bangladesh, and the United States significantly influence her work. Since the 1990s, she has collaborated with local artists, reinterpreting traditional aesthetics and challenging eurocentric narratives. Lima's recent exhibition, 'Atlântico Negro,' co-created with Cape Verdean artist Amadeo Carvalho, aims to highlight the strength of Cape Verdean women and address issues of patriarchy and societal transformation. Through her art, she seeks to amplify women's voices and experiences, advocating for a broader understanding of their roles in society.
