Social practice artist Emily van Lidth de Jeude’s work is informed by her own life experiences, the ecology she lives in, as well as story she collects from others.
Emily grew up on Bowen Island/Nex̱wlélex̱wem, before leaving to work and study at the Royal Academy of Visual Arts in the Netherlands as well as at Emily Carr University in Vancouver. She then dedicated herself to parenting and teaching, following her passion for explorative learning and wilderness education as she unschooled her two children, developed various art and wilderness programs, and pursued her visual art career.
Projects of distinction in Emily’s career have been the MAMA Project and w h a t . h o m e installations, which have been exhibited in Washington state and the Netherlands, as well as in Canada. Currently still obsessed with her local ecology, she has been painting the feeling of music and wind, and creating wearable art pieces to open dialogue about women’s issues.
