Ligia is a Sao Paulo-born artist whose creative work combines sculpture and drawing with performance, digital video, and photography to recreate appropriated narratives. At FNO 2021, Ligia will be sharing a video installation that aims to explore the narrative of the 1949 western film, “Sand”, by positioning it in relation to our on-going ideas around American national identity and unified cultural heritage.

“We All Fall Down” hopes to provoke a dialogue around these cultural narratives of the 40s and 50s, while highlighting the extreme forms of fiction we employ to uphold idealized national identities.
