Lara Ferrari Tummma is a choreographer, performer & writer from Argentina based in Brussels. She holds a Master's degree in Visual and Spatial Arts from ISAC (2022) and a Licentiate Degree in Choreographic Composition in Expresión Corporal from UNA, Argentina (2019). Her practice focuses on performance and writing as activators that generate states of empathy, vulnerability, and fragility in/from the body. Working from the commitment to think affect and sensory practices as political tools that enable dissimilar perceptive modes and build other ways of relating to each other and to the environment. Since 2017, she has been part of the collective métodos de supervivencia with Josefina Imfeld. Together, they research how to make a sensitive experience shareable and amplifiable, building choreographies of attention— a reflection on our ways of feeling, relating, and communicating. This collective has received grants, awards, and funding for creation and publication, including the Residency Grant (Flemish Art Decree, 2024), the Metropolitan Arts Fund (Argentina, 2022), and the National Arts Fund (Argentina, 2021). She understands artistic work as a collaborative practice that exceeds a specific position, participating in works, residencies, and projects in collaboration with different artists in the fields of dance, performance, and fiction writing. Currently working with Carly Rae Heathcote, Carolina Mendonça, and Cathrin Jarema. Since 2024, she has shared the Picar atelier in Schaerbeek with other artists based in Brussels. Lara's work has been presented in a number of contexts, including Kunsthalle (Zurich), KVS (Brussels), La Mansa Mansión (Argentina), Hotel inminente (Argentina), Beursschouwburg Café (Brussels), Gessnerallee (Zurich), Hamlet Gallery (Zurich), Topic (Geneva), Munar Arte (Buenos Aires), among others.
