This composition presents a radical approach to knowledge production, emphasizing embodied resistance as a crucial means of emancipation. Through personal and collective narratives, and a collection of writings composed over a year, Luïza Luz reflects on the challenges of navigating academic institutions that replicate selective narratives, emphasizing deep listening as both a theoretical foundation and a practical necessity. The work features contributions by Ahmet Öğüt and Jamila Barakat, broadening the dialogue around education, memory, and the power of the collective. Grounded in the body as a living archive, Beneath the Surface encourages listeners to confront shared inheritances and transform trauma into pathways for eco-liberation. In these turbulent times, deep listening becomes our most vital ally. As we grieve not only for lost lives but also for lost connections, we yearn to reconnect with one another and the Earth. Listening—through sound and the felt experiences of our bodies—offers us a way back. <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032"

What’s Beneath the Surface? (2024) is a multimedia installation rooted in the artist’s book Beneath the Surface: Deep Listening, Buried Narratives, and Embodied Resistance (2024). This composition critically examines knowledging systems, with a particular focus on how narratives are constructed and whose voices are amplified or silenced within academic institutions and beyond. The installation piece features chapters from the book, printed on suspended transparent surfaces, accompanied by audio passages from the text. For instance, “Listen, the Context is Still Colonial,” critiques persistent colonial legacies in academia and advocates for coherent responses to past, present and future struggles.&nbsp; This work is an invitation to listen. It engages with the contradictions between academic discourse and action, urging a multidimensional approach to perception, eco-liberation, structural change, and the protection of free speech and critical thinking. By emphasizing emancipatory education as a catalyst for justice, What's Beneath The Surface? calls for the dismantling of oppressive systems while nurturing hope and radical imagination through storytelling. <img width="5923" height="3949" width_o="5923" height_o="3949" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ef8594dfd02af97e945ea880243b720733a6a3d5e7a2d87f0bb8c9d8053c96c7/IMG_2549.JPG" data-mid="238029273" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ef8594dfd02af97e945ea880243b720733a6a3d5e7a2d87f0bb8c9d8053c96c7/IMG_2549.JPG" /> https://luizaluz.com/Privilege-of-Dreaming-1 Wed, 10 Sep 2025 11:39:02 +0000 Luïza Luz — Artist, Writer, Educator https://luizaluz.com/Privilege-of-Dreaming-1 <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/54b67d68a9e8e024404d96d8ca739bd3a8a1d099160b58bffec0185cafface91/DSCF5530.jpg" data-mid="238029295" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/54b67d68a9e8e024404d96d8ca739bd3a8a1d099160b58bffec0185cafface91/DSCF5530.jpg" /> <img width="6144" height="4912" width_o="6144" height_o="4912" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/846e2811ad4f8e16fda6c3f61a284f8a33a352e10a94f202462956748b5349de/POD_2198.jpg" data-mid="238029294" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/846e2811ad4f8e16fda6c3f61a284f8a33a352e10a94f202462956748b5349de/POD_2198.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/062be32d37d5c297bcf313f99eb2bbacb070519a5671aad27204e216bb517dcc/DSCF5545.jpg" data-mid="238029298" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/062be32d37d5c297bcf313f99eb2bbacb070519a5671aad27204e216bb517dcc/DSCF5545.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/65b7659f3fa4fc09e7614f5f262841abc84d77eb3777db9947e28ff87a714518/DSCF5388.jpg" data-mid="238029300" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/65b7659f3fa4fc09e7614f5f262841abc84d77eb3777db9947e28ff87a714518/DSCF5388.jpg" /> PRIVILEGE OF DREAMING The Privilege of Dreaming is a mobile installation and intersectional learning platform awarded initiated by Luïza Luz, and awarded by Akademie der Künste in 2021. It explores an interface between art and decentralized knowledge production. In this ecosystem, we co-create free hubs for encounters, critical cultural research, and transdisciplinary exhibitions. Each activation addresses the challenges, and urgencies of dreaming in a wicked world by acknowledging structural inequalities and sharing resources within and beyond institutional spaces. We believe the topics of privilege, dreams, and autonomy are open to different points of contact and critical approaches. Our dream is for this project to flourish with several communities by creating long-term, sustainable, artistic, and pedagogical works. This ever changing artwork is co created through collective and plural activations. In the project session, we present some of the activations that took place at Haus der Statistik in Berlin, during March 2022. Since then, the installation has been activated with multiple communities between Floating University, the gallery After the Butcher, besides the Błędów Desert in Poland with Lios Labs. The invitation has been extended to participants attending the Seminar Planetary Embodiment at UdK Berlin. Non students are welcomed to join as well. In November 2022, Privilege of Dreaming will be activated &nbsp;at the Berlin University of Arts as a temporary classroom for the Seminar. ere. -&gt; Website&nbsp;Photos: Pedro Geraldo, Andries de Lange
