Alida Rodrigues is an Angolan visual artist with a notable presence in exhibitions across Africa, Europe, and the UK. She has also participated in artist residencies in Mexico, the UK, and the USA.

Rodrigues creates installations, textiles, and collages, often using 19th-century black-and-white photographic portraits and botanical illustrations. Her work explores themes of identity, race, colonialism, gender politics, memory, and the formation and denial of history. A significant part of her practice involves ethnobotany, examining the histories that shape human relationships with plants, the role of women in plant exploration, and the processes of collecting and cataloguing plant specimens. She also investigates the naming of plants, considering both Latin and Indigenous nomenclature, and delves into spirituality and cosmology, exploring how these themes connect humanity with the earth and question whose narratives are preserved or obscured.

In 2019, Rodrigues featured in the film Relic 3, part of Relic Traveller: Phase 2 by British-Ghanaian artist Larry Achiampong. Her collaboration with the fashion label Winnie New York won the Karl Lagerfeld Prize in 2022..
