Aida Agota Matusevičiūtė

Aida Agota Matusevičiūtė is a conceptual, interdisciplinary, intermedia artist of Lithuanian descent, currently residing and working in Helsinki. Aida graduated with MA from Aalto University, Design Department. Her work primarily revolves around the study of therapeutic ecologies and the advancement of human sensibilities through engagement with creative environmental practices and the complexities of societal power relationships. This inquiry manifests in her artistic exploration of varying sensory and perceptual capabilities. To delve into these themes, Aida utilises a diverse range of methodologies, including archaic symbolism, language tools, ritualism, indigenous cosmology, meditative art therapy, ethnography and embodied practices. Her tactile understanding of materiality, stemming from a background in textiles, prints, and regenerative fashion, contributes to a deeper conceptual analysis of touch. Likewise, she places significant emphasis on examining tacit knowing while making environmentally conscious decisions in her artistic pursuits.
