a social practice & storytelling lab for visionary futures
Studio Loba
works at the intersection of art and community, using narrative and cultural strategy, to bolster the cultural power of communities.
Studio Loba is a storytelling & performance lab. We design and realize art and culture projects, with and for community, to show what justice-centered futures can look like. We support organizations and communities by building cultural infrastructures and creating narrative strategy to connect existing arts and culture ecosystems and highlight the power they have in the development of thriving communities and cities. We work with artists, designers, culture bearers, arts administrators, and public officials, to generate creative strategies that support thriving art and culture communities and society as a whole.
We believe art and culture are essential for justice work and collective liberation.
