Soledad Muñoz

Soledad Muñoz is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher born in Canada and raised in Rancagua, Chile. Currently based in Toronto, her work seeks to explore the ever-changing social spaces we inhabit, and the archival properties of cloth. Through her understanding of the woven structure as the continuation of our social gesture, her practice hopes to recover the voices of those historically silenced, and therefore participate in the fabrication of a more just society. 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. Some of Soledad awards include the New Artist Society Full Merit Scholarship at School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and The City of Vancouver Mayor’s Arts Award for Emerging Artist in Craft and Design.
