Summoning Voices: A conversation with Victoria Martinez
A conversation with Victoria Martinez that took place during the
Summoning voices - A radio symposium on feminist world making July
8-9.23 in Goethe Institut Rotterdam and at radioecho.net In the
conversation you can hear Victoria talking about her artistic
practice and her sonic work The ghosts of Salome and the importance
of retelling myths.
Victoria MartÃnez is a Mexican visual artist based in Berlin. Her
work involves storytelling of political realities and fictional
possibilities through abstraction and poetry. Her practice is
influenced by counter-colonial ways of seeing and a non-disciplinary
approach to artistic mediums, switching between video, sound and
paper within live situations. She has a background in philosophy and
is currently part of Lens Based New Media Class at UdK Berlin.

Summoning voices - A radio symposium on feminist world making
Words make language, language makes stories, and stories make worlds
Radio Echo is summoning a diversity of voices of storytellers,
artists, radio makers, community builders, researchers and activists
during a two day radio symposium, online at our radio platform and
physically at the Goethe Institut Rotterdam. Through a series of
conversations, dj sets and vocal experimentations that weave a
multilayered broadcast that touches upon methods to reimagine the
realities that define our lives. With it we challenge normative
understandings of being together and compose a web of solidarity
amongst our communities. We aim to provide a space where many
disciplines can intersect, nurture each other and find a channel to
influence the world with a touch of our magic.
