Biography
Letícia Parente (1930–1991) was a Brazilian visual artist who specialized in politically charged video art. Her surreal short films feature elements of body art and performance art. Much of her work is centered around protesting the use of mass torture by the military dictatorship in Brazil throughout the 1970s. Besides her work in activism and art, Parente also held a PhD in chemistry and never left her scientific career after discovering art.
