Biography

Vida Yovanovich was born on 9 October 1949 in Havana, Cuba,[1] where her parents fled from their native Yugoslavia due to war, and she moved to Mexico City in 1956.[2] She obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the Universidad de las Américas, A.C. in 1978.[1]

She has held individual exhibitions not only in her native Mexico and Cuba, but also in the United States, Europe, and South Africa.[3] Among collections storing her works are those of the Ateneo Español de México [es], the Casa de las Américas in Cuba, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Argentina, and the Museum of Applied Arts, Belgrade.[3] She was part of "NaFoto", a group exhibition at the 1997 São Paulo Art Biennial.[1]

Her work is generally characterized by being focused on the life and identity of women; her style of photography has been described by the ITESO, Universidad Jesuita de Guadalajara as "reflective and intimate."[4] One of her exhibitions, "La Cárcel de los Sueños", was described by Milenio as "one of her most recognized works",[2] and was inspired by her personal experience in an asylum and by the work of Graciela Iturbide and Duane Michals.[5] A companion book for the exhibition was completed in 1997 with an introduction by Elena Poniatowska.[2]

In 1994, she worked as an artist-in-residence at the Nexus Contemporary Art Center.[1] She has also taught as a lecturer at institutions like the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the University of Barcelona.[6]

She was a Fellow of the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura in 1983 and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellow in 1994.[1] She was named a Guggenheim Fellow in 2000.[7] She won the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia's 2022 Medal of Photographic Merit.[8] She is also a member of the Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte.[9]

She considers herself to be a "Mexican by adoption".[2]
