The Meaning of Casa Lü
In Tibetan, "Lü" refers to the body and signifies what is left behind, reminding us that we are temporary travelers in this life. Casa Lü offers a temporary home, giving artists the freedom and focus to explore new creative directions.
A One-of-a-Kind Residency

Located in one of the world’s most vibrant art scenes, Casa Lü provides artists with space, support, feedback, exhibitions, and opportunities to connect with others.
With deep ties to Mexico City’s thriving art community, Casa Lü has welcomed over 430 artists from 23 countries. The residency is conducted entirely in English, fostering a global community that promotes collaboration and cross-cultural exchange.
