Biography

Alix Lucas (they/them) is a French-Filipinx artist, performer and workshop facilitator based in Berlin since 2015. Trained with a Master’s in Art History with a specialisation in contemporary art (University of Tours, 2006), their practice moves across visual art, performance, and the design of participatory situations, always asking what conditions need to be in place for something real to happen between people.

Facilitation is at the heart of their work. Through Playing Silly, an ongoing workshop series exploring joyful vulnerability and human connection through movement and play, and through collaborative workshops on collective care and identity, Alix creates spaces where play becomes a tool for genuine encounter. They have worked with queer communities, Filipinx diaspora groups, and festival audiences across Berlin, and have been part of Stattlab, an art collective based in Berlin Wedding, since 2016.

Their practice has always been shaped by displacement and coexistence. A residency year in Nouméa (2018-2019), working alongside the Kanak population during a pivotal moment in New Caledonia’s independence movement, grounded an understanding of what it means to be present, and to hold space, in contested territory. That experience remains foundational.

Alix’s work builds situations that invite the audience to become active participants and complete the piece.
