Soledad Muñoz

Soledad Fátima Muñoz is an interdisciplinary artist born in Canada and raised in Rancagua, Chile. Currently based in Toronto, her work seeks to explore the analogy between the ever-changing social spaces we inhabit, and an embodied experience of sound.

In 2014, she started Genero, an audio project/label that focuses on the distribution and greater representation of women and non-binary artists in the sound realm. Subsequently in 2017, she co-founded CURRENT "Feminist Electronic Art Symposium", a multidisciplinary, intersectional music and electronic art symposium working with women, non-binary, and BIPOC artists in Vancouver and beyond.

She understands the woven structure as the continuation of our social gesture, where a thread cannot sustain itself in space, nor can two of them. It is a community of interconnected threads that creates material and the relationships between them that create space. Therefore, most of her work is based on the relationship of the woven structure with sound, and the interconnected ever-changing spaces that they create.

Soledad was the recipient of New Artist Society Full Merit Scholarship at School of the Art Institute of Chicago, The City of Vancouver Mayor’s Arts Award for Emerging Artist in Craft and Design, and The Emily Carr President’s Media Award – Installation/Interactive Media.
