Hi I'm Luisa Puterman, a composer, musician and sound artist from Brazil. I strongly believe that the act of listening is a powerful thing. I do music and sound design for exhibitions, film, dance, installations and learning experiences.
Since 2013 I have participated in art residencies such as Red Bull Music Academy, OneBeat, BANFF, LABVERDE and K3. For me residencies are the core of my artistic practice and a fertile ground to dive into community building, collaboration and research. In 2020/21 I was part of Jan Van Eyck Academie in the Netherlands and now I am currently working as a PhD at the School of Creative Media, in Hong Kong. As a researcher I'm part of the WANWU, an art and ecology group led by the artist Bo ZHENG. As an artistic director I've been leading OneBeat Virtual, a cultural exchange program that brings artists together to a shared online space where we investigate new forms of collaboration. From 2016 to 2023 I have worked as director and co- founder of MIHN (Imaginary Museum of Natural History), a small nonprofit based in Brazil that connects sounds, people and ecology. During the last 15 years my work has been showed in cultural institutions, art exhibitions, music festivals and public spaces around the globe. I also sometimes do playlists for restaurants and events. And I am always around to meet new people and make new sounds!
