From São Paulo, Brasil - Based in Berlin, Germany
Luïza Luz investigates multisensorial ways of learning and sharing emancipatory knowledge. Their work spans the human and more than human worlds, engaging with intuitive, theoretical, and practical approaches towards intersectional environmentalism, language, and planetary narratives that actualize the concept of nature as a living entity, and a subject of rights.
In the fields of performance, sound, installation, sculpture, and painting, they collaborate with both digital and organic entities to co-create immersive, and participatory ecosystems.
As an extension of their artistic work, Luïza Luz teaches the seminar "Planetary Embodiment” at the Berlin University of Arts for students and non-students, while concluding their masters thesis at the Art in Context Institute. Through this course and other projects, they strive to contribute to a broader movement towards structural change, and radical imagination while expanding timelines of care, reparation,
and belonging.
