\"In these turbulent times, as many turn away from listening, we refuse to follow this indifference. In defiance, we listen deeper.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lu\u00efza Luz first wrote this sentence in their book Beneath the Surface (2024), in response to the gap between the progressive rhetoric and the sudden silences of cultural and educational institutions. In September 2025, they spoke these words at MoMA PS1 during the Printed Matter New York Art Book Fair. That lecture was transcribed and became a book of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At soft power<\/em> kehrt der Satz zum K\u00f6rper zur\u00fcck. Lu\u00efza Luz pr\u00e4sentiert beide Publikationen durch das gesprochene und gesungene Worte und tiefes Zuh\u00f6ren. Der Abend markiert den Start der zweiten Ausgabe von \u201eBeneath the Surface: Deep Listening, Buried Narratives, and Embodied Resistance\u201c (Archive Books \/ we make it, 2024\u201326) sowie die Ver\u00f6ffentlichung von \u201eIn Defiance, We Listen Deeper: (dis)Embodiment & the Planetary Transition\u201c (Secret Riso Club \/ we make it, 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is a moment of collapse. And it has to happen.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disembodiment<\/em> they voice, \"is how we allow systems of power to control the ways we listen and the ways we speak.\" As a step one, to refuse the systems operating to destroy life: \"We start listening to our bodies.\" Human and more-than-human, these bodies are living archives, holding the wisdom needed for liberation. The invitation is to learn how to listen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
