Luïza Luz (they/them)
is a transdisciplinary artist, lecturer, and author. Their work focuses on intersectional environmentalism and emancipatory pedagogies, engaging with spatial, textual, sonic, performative, and somatic ecologies.

They have worked with cultural institutions such as Gropius Bau, LAS Art Foundation, Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Knsthaus Hamburg, Belvedere21, Kasseler Kunstverein, and Kommunale Galerie. 

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 approaches education as a medium, cultivating strategies that merge performance with teaching, nurturing collaborative-bodied learning experiences.
