Guely Morató Loredo (Bolivia) has led interdisciplinary collective creation processes for over a decade. She brings together artists, researchers, and communities to co-create projects that weave together diverse knowledge systems through multisensory experiences. As the founder and director of Sonandes, a pioneering Bolivian platform for listening studies and sound experimentation, Guely Morató explores how listening can reshape our understanding of the world. Her work critically examines the political implications of technology, proposing alternative frameworks that decolonize its use and align it with indigenous and local cosmologies.
During her residency at Delfina foundation, Guely will be dedicated to engaging with cultural agents, fostering collaborations that will enrich the development of new research phases for two curatorial projects she is currently leading: Wak’a: Neoextractivism, Sacredness, and Deep Listening and Triangle of Sacrifice: Infrastructures of Technocolonialism.
Additionaly, Guely has curated six editions of Sonandes: International Biennial of Sound Art and the last edition of the Listening Biennial. In 2024, she received the CIFOxARS Electronica award for her work *Triangle of Sacrifice*, which critically addresses the environmental impact of large-scale lithium extraction in the lithium triangle.
Guely Morató Loredo was born in Bolivia and is currently based there.
