LARK LYRA LOU HILL

Lark Lyra Lou Hill is a multidisciplinary artist, educator and master of ceremonies. After earning their BFA in 2011 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), they founded Brain Frame, the performative comix reading series. Between 2011-2017, they hosted and co-organized over thirty shows, including SLEEPER, an experimental haunted house and Nothing Up My Sleeve, an augmented magic show.

In 2017, Lark moved to Los Angeles and founded Multi Cult, the ritual variety show where audiences “make home in the unknown.” With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Multi Cult moved online and Lark embarked on a transient lifestyle, documenting their manifold transitions in the diary comic Pleasure Hex.

Lark’s films, comics, and performances have exhibited across the United States, as well as in Canada, Mexico, Scotland, England, Australia, Italy, Greece, Amsterdam, Germany and Singapore. They use tactile materials (paper, pencil, celluloid, props) and special effects (light, sound, smoke, motion) to transcend linear thinking and subvert mainstream narratives. Grounded in spiritual practice and technical education, Lark is always seeking new ways to both entertain and unsettle.
