"In Tibetan, the word for body is 'lü', which means 'something you leave behind'. Each time we say 'lü', it reminds us that we are only travelers, taking temporary refuge in this life and this body."

Sogyal Rinpoche 

 

We are a creative community that works in harmony to inspire artistic and personal growth through art. Situated in one of the world’s most thriving art scenes, Casa Lü provides artists with the space and support to reflect on their work and connect with like-minded individuals.

 

Our program is created by artists, for artists, with the aim of fostering a global dialogue while highlighting the vibrancy of our city. We encourage residents to explore Mexico City's dynamic art scene through weekly excursions, and we provide a curated list of museums, galleries, and local attractions. Residents are kept informed about exhibition openings and other cultural events. Conducted in English, the residency fosters an international exchange of ideas, encouraging collaboration across cultures and disciplines.

 

In 2024, Casa Lü merged with El Sur to create a larger, more interconnected community for our residents. After the merger, Casa Lü became known as Casa Lü Parque, and El Sur was renamed Casa Lü Sur.
