About
Why this artist matters now
Lida Abdul is an Afghan artist working in video, photography, and performance to address trauma, reconstruction, and collective memory in post-conflict societies. Her practice engages directly with sites of historical violence and architectural ruins, often incorporating community participation and ritualistic gesture. Abdul's work interrogates how nations and individuals process loss and rebuild identity after war, grounding abstract concepts of resilience in specific geographies and bodies.
