Yuri Tuma is a Brazilian artist, researcher and curator living in Madrid, where he co-founded the Institute for Postnatural Studies (IPS) and serves as its Academic and Artistic Co-Director. His work investigates contemporary narratives of sonic and queer ecologies through collective practice, active listening, sound art, installation and performance.

Founded in early 2020, IPS is a platform for critical thought and a collaborative network of artists, researchers, curators and thinkers engaged with the complexities of the ecological crisis. Beyond international residencies, Yuri coordinates workshops and academic programs on interspecies kinship, queer ecology and sound studies. He has also contributed to educational and mediation programs at institutions including Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Matadero Madrid, HEAD Genève, Institute Art Gender Nature, Berlinale, Fundación Mar Adentro and School of Commons.

Within IPS, he also helps shape the editorial direction of Cthulhu Books, an editorial platform that foregrounds the political potential of imagining new worlds and possible stories for the planet through academic and artistic research.
