Fe Lugo is a Bronx-born, genderqueer artist whose practice spans sculpture, image-making, writing, and digital experimentation. They work with materials such as glass, wood, metal, and photographic imagery to study how identity, power, and desire take form across both intimate and collective histories. Lugo often rebuilds, recasts, or reconfigures objects in order to examine how narratives shift when translated across materials, bodies, and cultural frameworks. They are interested in the broader forces that shape representation and the ways class, race, and sexuality appear through material behavior and visual language. Their practice continues to grow through sustained research, technical exploration, and a commitment to imagining more expansive and inclusive narratives for the future.

Fe holds a BFA in Art and Art Education from Pratt Institute, where they trained in woodworking, glass, metal fabrication, mold-making, and photographic processes. Lugo has been an educator in New York City arts programs and has held residencies including Stove Works and Wassaic Project. Their work has been presented in community-centered art spaces and interdisciplinary exhibitions, and they continue to expand their practice through research-driven studio work, material experimentation, and teaching. Lugo lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
