We are looking forward to this evening with transdisciplinary artist, researcher and cultural worker Luïza Luz! Luiza's new publication “Beneath the Surface: Deep Listening, Buried Narratives, and Embodied Resistance” was recently published by Archive Books & we make it Berlin. In the framework of a book presentation and a storytelling, Luïza will explore the themes of the book.
Admission is free, the presentation starts at 7pm CET. Language: english.
In a world where noise and silence perpetuate cycles of oppression and ecological destruction, Beneath the Surface invites us to pause, listen deeply, and use our voices to reclaim buried stories. 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.
