Ludgi Porto is an artist, educator, and researcher currently based between Basel (CH) and São Paulo (BR).
Working across visual arts, performance, writing, drawing, and collective practices, her work explores questions of transformation, language, immigration, and the ways knowledge is perceived and shared in artistic experiences. Rather than treating art, education, and research as separate fields, she approaches them as one embodied practice that varies in spectral waves, creating modes and moments that shape how we understand the world.
Over the years, Ludgi has lived and worked in different countries, collaborating with artists, cultural institutions, universities, and community-based initiatives. Her background includes visual arts, performance, philosophy, cultural project management, and art education. She is currently a PhD researcher at the Basel Academy of Art and Design (FHNW) in cooperation with the University of Arts Linz, where she researches exorcism and possession in artistic practices that merge and blend at the edges of spiritual rituals, connecting the material and invisible worlds.
Whether through performances, workshops, research projects, exhibitions, or conversations, she is interested in creating spaces for reflection, exchange, and transformation.
