Luïza Luz (they/them) is a transdisciplinary artist, educator, and author whose work engages with spatial, textual, sonic, and performance-based ecologies.
Through the reciprocal acts of voicing and listening, they approach education as a medium, cultivating strategies that merge somatics, storytelling, and performance with intersectional environmentalism, nurturing embodied-critical learning experiences.
Luïza founded and led the Planetary Embodiment seminar at the Berlin University of Arts (2021-2023), culminating in the publication Planetary Embodiment: Cooking With Words for Systemic Change and Solidarity.
They are also the author of Beneath the Surface: Deep Listening, Buried Narratives, and Embodied Resistance (2024), published by Archive Books and We Make It. Both publications are archived in libraries including the MET Museum in NYC, MACBA in Barcelona, Reina Sofía in Madrid, and the Spore Initiative in Berlin.
