Lisa E. Harris, Li, is an independent and interdisciplinary artist, creative soprano, performer, composer, improviser, writer, singer-songwriter, and educator from Houston, Texas. 

Li's work focuses on the energetic relationships between body, land, spirit, and place. Using voice, theremin, movement, meditation, and new media to explore spatial awareness, relationality, panoptical surveillance, and sonic profiling, she maintains a focused concentration on healing in performance and living. She is the founder and creative director of Studio Enertia, an art collective with Pittsburgh creator Alisha B. Wormsley. Studio Enertia is currently producing Harris’s 10-year durational work, Cry of the Third Eye, a new opera film in 3 acts that archives the effects of gentrification on her Houston neighborhood. Li recently created and curated Houston’s inaugural Free Time Flow Festival at MacGregor Park, celebrating the intersections of basketball, electro-acoustic music, and improvisational performance. She has currently curated Pauline Oliveros Day at Discovery Green Houston. Li can be heard as the lead singer with Jason Moran's Fats Waller Dance Party. Recent engagements include The Force of Things, an Opera for Objects by Ashley Fure, The Nubian Word for Flowers- a phantom Opera by Pauline Oliveros and IONE, and Earthseed, a co-composition commission with Nicole M. Mitchell for Chicago's Art Institute. She is currently on a solo tour that includes acclaimed solo performances at Moogfest 2019 and Marfa Myths 2019. She will join the Ensemble Evolution faculty at Banff Centre for the Arts and Creativity in the summer of 2019.
