Through monumental installations that incorporate ceramics, video, sound, fiber, steel, and repurposed materials, Luger interweaves performance and political action to communicate stories about twenty-first-century indigeneity. Luger is the recipient of the 2018 Museum of Arts and Design’s inaugural Burke Prize and holds a BFA in studio arts from the Institute of American Indian Arts.
