María Bulla is a music maker. She creates small handmade objects and oversized scores, she writes songs, makes sounds with a synthesizer and combines them with texts and field recordings; all this with the hope of creating situations that become part of everyday life. She has a project called hacemos bulla, a gift-making project with the purpose of reminding us that we are noise makers, we make noise.If, as María says, we are noise makers, then Katie is compelled by our (sound)waves. Not partial to a particular form, she is wondering in the wake of these waves. Katie is thinking about the architecture of our living, and the forces of our movements. Right now, she is working on a thesis asking how antiblackness is re/produced through "modern technology."
