From São Paulo, Brasil - Based in Berlin, Germany
Luïza Luz (they/them)
is a transdisciplinary artist, educator, and author. Their work focuses on intersectional environmentalism and emancipatory pedagogies, engaging with spatial, textual, sonic, performative, and participatory ecologies.
A central element of their practice is the voice—both sung and spoken—as a means of recovering forgotten or suppressed narratives and inscribing pathways to emancipation.
Through the reciprocal acts of voicing and listening, Luz proposes ecosystems for the recovery of Planetary memories, blending the personal and political to reimagine systems of power.
They approach education as a medium, cultivating strategies that merge performance with teaching, challenging traditional hierarchies and fostering collaborative-embodied learning experiences.
