Aimée Zito Lema explores collective memory and knowledge, and the ways in which knowledge is transmitted from one generation to the next. Her practice consists of performance, video, sculpture, installation, and photography. Her work frequently uses the body, or representations of the body, to generate questions about our relationship to history, how it is recorded, and remembered. Her practice is primarily motivated by research into social forms of resistance and the political body, often drawing from revolutionary and guerrilla movements in history.
