Daniel Lima is a multi-media artist. Aesthetic and political gestures in an urban context are the defining features of his art developed with various strategies. Daniel Lima’s work comprises a variety of activities ranging from sculptural experiments with laser beams to performative and media interventions. In the process he uses visual resources to create unexpected and potentially deconstructive situations in the urban space. Strongly committed to art activism, Lima’s practice deals with processes of social exclusion and violence, among other things, for instance gentrification, police brutality and racism. Lima expresses his individual creative work by participating in collectives ‒ for example Frente 3 de Fevereiro, a group that was founded following the murder of a Black teenager by the military police in São Paulo. His project for Dak’Art combines urban intervention, video and music with performance to address new forms of imperialism in European-African relationships.
