Yuri Tuma
Yuri Tuma (b. 1983 in Sao Paulo, BRA) studied at Emerson College in Boston and University Carlos III in Madrid. His practice employs sound art, installation and performance to relate diverse ecologies and contemporary narratives to approach a transcending understanding of the nature/culture binomial. In early 2020, he co-founded the Institute for Postnatural Studies (IPS) in Madrid, a platform that focuses on the relationship between contemporary artistic practice and the necessary revision of the concept of nature. His artistic practice also delves in collective creation and investigation through workshops and digital anthropology practice.
