Visual and sound artist Leonel Ramiro Vásquez Zárate (b. 1981, Sibaté, Colombia) explores sound as both a material that shapes sensory experience and a vibrational force that gives form to devices and spaces. Vásquez examines sound as a political, aesthetic and reparative action, proposing it as a means to generate new relationships in contexts marked by social and environmental conflict. Vásquez participated in the São Paulo Biennial with Templo da água: Río Tietê (2025) and the Bogotá Biennial with Cuna de humedales (2025). His solo exhibitions include Templo de agua: Río Bogotá, NC Arte, Bogotá (2023); Canto Rodado, Fonoteca Nacional de México, Mexico City (2023) and Casa Hoffmann, Bogotá (2019); Tierras del Mar, Festival de las Artes de Valparaíso, Valparaíso (2018); and Cuna de los ríos, Biennial, Örebro.
