Yuri Tuma is a multidisciplinary Brazilian artist living in Madrid, where he co-founded the Institute for Postnatural Studies and practices as its Academic and Artistic Co-Director.

Yuri’s work focuses on the investigation of contemporary narratives related to sonic and queer ecologies through collective practice, active listening, sound art, installation, and performance. In early 2020, he co-founded the Institute for Postnatural Studies (IPS) in Madrid, a platform for critical thought and a collaborative network of artists, researchers, curators, and thinkers engaged with the complexities of the ecological crisis. In addition to participating in residencies and coordinating workshops around interspecies kinships and sound ecologies, Yuri has worked with educational and mediation programs at Spanish and international institutions such as Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Matadero Madrid, HEAD Géneve, Berlinale, Fundación Mar Adentro, School of Commons, among others. Within IPS, he also actively shapes the editorial route of Cthulhu Books, an editorial platform to showcase the political potential of imagining new worlds and possible stories for the planet through academic and artistic research.
