About Susana Uvidia
Susana Uvidia is an Ecuadorian visual artist based in London. Her work emerges from the tensions of migration and the experience of living between worlds. Through sculpture, textiles, and colour, she explores hybridity not as a fluid blend, but as a form of interference: a visual noise that disrupts the clear stories we tell ourselves about identity.
She weaves welded steel, indigenous threads, and vibrant fields of colour to create fragile yet powerful structures that speak with multiple voices: of memory, resistance, and care.
Her practice inhabits the in-between space: ever-changing, refusing to be fixed or simplified, reclaiming visibility for stories and bodies that are often relegated or invisible.

Embodied Memory
Thread, fabric, and form intertwine to carry what lives within us.
These pieces follow traces that cross time and distance, memories that sometimes survive only in gesture. They hold losses, cares, and strengths that are never forgotten. Fragments remain with us, even as we change, grounding the body in a continuity that defies displacement.
Structures in Motion
Steel and textiles meet to explore forms that hold while allowing movement.
There is weight, yet also flexibility. These open structures ask: What sustains us when nothing is fixed? How do we keep assembling ourselves while in motion? They become metaphors for the shifting frameworks of identity, resilience, and belonging.
Portable Resistance
Wrapped fabrics, simple objects, and found materials preserve what noise tried to erase.
Like portable altars, these works create intimate refuges, small yet unwavering spaces of cultural memory. They are ways of speaking without shouting, continuing without forgetting, and carrying resistance in forms that travel with us.
