Artist, Graphic Designer and Researcher
(ES, CL~1997)
Barcelona based.  

Andrea Galano Toro is a Chilean artist and graphic designer based in Barcelona. Her transdisciplinary practice explores storytelling as a gesture to activate and enchant transformational experiences through installations, audiovisual performances, workshops, and publications. Her work engages ecological narratives focused on processes of decay and multispecies relationships, approached through a critical lens that questions extractivist logics.

Her practice unfolds through scale, language, and experimental storytelling — approaching the micro to think the macro — and reappropriating tools designed to measure or classify the world, such as microscopes, macro lenses, and bestiaries, as instruments of speculation, intuition, and connection with the more-than-human. Andrea works with electronics in connection to natural materials through installations that transform and decompose over time, exploring technology itself in relation to decay and its own mortality. Language is also central: from collective glossaries to speculative symbols and cartographies as ways of imagining other worlds and relations.

In Defiance We Listen Deeper (2026)


Transcribed from a lecture delivered at MoMA PS1 during the Printed Matter Art Book Fair NY (2025), Luïza Luz extends the research of their book Beneath the Surface: Deep Listening, Buried Narratives, and Embodied Resistance (Archive Books, we make it, 2024) into spoken form. 

Moving through deep listening, language, and education, Luïza Luz outlines a political methodology of embodiment — where attuning to the self, the Planet, and the other is an act of defiance that unearths the potential for the Planetary transition.
