Lívia Maria Delgado is a Berlin-based artist from São Paulo. She graduated in Classical and Contemporary Dance from the Conservatory of Dance of São Paulo and trained in Performing Arts at Senac São Paulo. Lívia’s work explores themes of migration, borders, consumption, and environmental precarity.

Since 2020, she has developed Baderna, an ongoing research strand—supported by the Daku Fund (2023)—that rethinks entropy and agency through Karen Barad’s agential-realism lens. Baderna unfolded during the Raíz Residency with the Kalipety Indigenous community in April 2025 (Parelheiros, SP) and is currently being further developed in collaboration with videographer Caio de Siervi Barcellos.

Most recently, Lívia joined Mari Paula’s Goethe-Institut-supported project Lake Machine as a researcher and assistant director for its premiere in Cantabria (September 2025). She is also performing in a new work by Clébio Oliveira, set to premiere in March 2026.

Alongside her artistic practice, Lívia works as a dance teacher, fitness instructor, and movement director, maintaining active collaborations across Brazil and Europe while continuously refining her own artistic language.
