Presented as part of CURRENT: Feminist Electronic Art Symposium,Tone is an exhibition that investigates the social and gestural quality of words within a sonic framework. Through the understanding of words as embodied materiality, this show uses sound in order to deconstruct preexisting ideologies and to affect change.
The exhibition will present works by artists Jamilah Malika and Soledad Fatima Muñoz, with readings by members of Contrast Collective. The catalog will be in the form of a collection of poems published by VABF and printed by Moniker press.
Jamilah Malika (Chicago) [waiting for pic] - artist
Jamilah Malika is a black woman writer whose words take many forms: published in pages (poetry + short story) or operated on stage as a one woman show as well as lyrics fronting a band (Ontario Arts Council - ‘Popular Music Grant’ recipients 2011 + Toronto Independent Music Awards - Nominee ‘Best Electronic’ 2012) she is currently completing an MFA at SAIC to develop text off page that drops her body out of sight via sound and projection. the work always asks about identity, memory and belonging.
Soledad Fatima Muñoz is an interdisciplinary artist born in Toronto, Canada and raised in Rancagua, Chile. Her work explores the analogy between the ever-changing social spaces we inhabit, and an embodied experience of sound. She is the founder of Genero, an audio project which focuses in the greater representation for women and non-binary people working in the sound realm. Soledad was the recipient of The City of Vancouver Mayor’s Arts Award for Emerging Artist in Craft and Design.
Contrast Collective is a not for profit creative organization and independent print publication based in Vancouver, BC. Stemming from the awareness of lack of diverse representation in the lower mainland, Contrast was created as a means to facilitate conversation about racial diversity, intersectionality, and community while still pushing the arts. The Contrast Collective is powered by a team of artists of colour, and was founded in March of 2017 by South Asian artist and writer, Molly Randhawa, and was later joined by Filipino-Japanese artist, Alyssa Manalo.
