"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
Created by artists, for artists, Casa Lü is a nonprofit arts organization and creative community dedicated to supporting artistic and personal growth through art. Since 2017, Casa Lü has welcomed artists from over 39 countries, offering dedicated studio spaces and guidance to support the successful completion of their projects.
Casa Lü operates two distinct residency sites, each aligned with different modes of artistic inquiry: Casa Lü Parque, located in a central neighborhood conducive to active engagement with Mexico City’s contemporary art scene; and Casa Lü Sur, situated in the historic district of Tlalpan, a quiet, culturally rich area that supports sustained studio practice and deeper contextual exploration.
At Casa Lü, creativity, dialogue, and community are prioritized. The residency provides artists with time, space, and meaningful support, empowering them to take risks, explore new ideas, and build lasting connections.
