From the final report KABK 2023
Aleida's thesis comes from a place of deep gratitude and generosity, which arose after she recovered from a serious head injury, which left her lying on her back in the dark for months because she could not stand the light and she wears earplugs because she has become hypersensitive to sound. As she slowly got back on her feet, she began to understand the tremendous importance and influence of our senses on everything in our lives, and more specifically on our ability to create and experience works of art. Her live experiences are something that makes her (and her work) unique. She is a very dedicated creator. Careful attention and close observation are necessary methods within her work that lead to a deep understanding of the subject. She has increasingly embraced the research-oriented way of working with an open mindset and curiosity. Aleida is an inviting speaker, full of infectious motivation and curiosity. She also makes a great contribution to group discussions and provides a boost of positive energy.
