Dida Sundet is an award-winning interdisciplinary visual artist and scholar from Norway, now based in Perth, Australia. Her academic research focuses on the connection between Greek and Roman mythology with current socio-political debates around men’s violence towards women and traditional gender stereotypes. It specifically centres on re-coding women’s experiences of sexual violence in visual art and news media, exploring strategies for effectively countering the myth of the ‘heroic’ rapist.

Dida has an extensive background in visual and performing arts and has exhibited widely in Australia and overseas. She’s a proud neurodivergent academic who has focussed her career on feminist counter-media practices and exploring the complexities of sexual violence. Dida’s work unites aspects from her background in theatre, film, art history, and photography in both Norway and Australia.

Dida’s image ‘3 Sitroner’ (3 lemons) was awarded 1st place in the category for Special Night Photography, non professional, in the International Photography Awards, 2013.
