Liberatha Alibalio
A multi-disciplinary artist
Biography
Liberatha Alibalio is a multi-disciplinary artist. Her work is driven by research, prioritising the exploration of materials and techniques in the development of new work and often working with textiles, performance, and video.

Her work is storytelling, re-learning and tracing patterns of self, nature, spirit and materiality through art making, embodying her connection to places and traditional cultural practices as research and making.
Liberatha has participated in exhibitions and residencies nationally and internationally including East Africa Art Biennale (2019), Nafasi Art Space (Tanzania) (2021), Modzi Arts (Zambia).
