Lido Pimienta is a multidisciplinary visual artist, art critic, and curator. She is a composer and musical producer of Afro-Indigenous (Wayuu) Ancestry from Colombia. Pimienta resides in Toronto Canada, and has been performing live and exhibiting her work worldwide since 2010. She was the first female of colour to ever compose and original score for the New York City Ballet Orchestra and is also the first ever black and Indigenous woman to be debuting as a TV host, writer and creator of a network show in Canada, LIDO TV; a variety show that explores themes like Feminism, Colonialism and Success, with a hilarious twist and the help of puppets. Pimienta’s music and visual work navigates politics of gender, race, motherhood and the construct of the Canadian Landscape in the South American diaspora and vernacular.
