Arantxa Araujo

lutxa is an immersive, socially-engaged, participatory, multimedia installation with live performance that seeks to reconnect with one's self, and create a healthy cycle of interconnectedness, to understand our own self and our effect on our environment/others. It is an experimental ritualistic practice tempting enlightenment and diminishing unnecessary suffering by recognizing (self-awareness) and fighting (lucha=lutxa) our reactive desires.
Concept by Arantxa Araujo  Performance by Arantxa Araujo  Video by Arantxa Araujo in collaboration with Wei Chao Music by Carina Lopez 
lutxa was made possible, in part, by the Franklin Furnace Fund supported by Jerome Foundation, The SHS Foundation, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).
