Krista Dzudzilo (b. 1989) is a visual artist working in a variety of media on a range of scales – from small, meticulously made drawings to large-scale stage designs for collaborations in theatre and opera. In her visual art projects, Krista employs scenography, for example, as an extensive dramaturgy of space and active collaboration with the viewer, while in theatre, the space and costumes have a deeply symbolic meaning, often becoming independent works of art. Krista has held six personal exhibitions and taken part in numerous group exhibitions in Latvia and abroad. She has earned recognition for her works at both local and international levels, including an award for the best concept at the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space 2019, the Latvian National Theatre Award (twice), the National Design Award of Latvia 2019, and others. She has been twice nominated – in 2015 and 2021 – for the Latvian contemporary visual arts award: the Purvītis Prize. Krista’s works are held in the collections of the Latvian Museum of Contemporary Art and the Latvian National Museum of Art, as well as in private collections.
