Leonel Vásquez (Sibaté, 1981) is a sound and visual artist whose work explores the power of sound to shape sensory experiences through sculptures and installations. He investigates listening as a political, aesthetic, and reparative act, rebuilding connections in contexts of social and environmental conflict. His interests include singing as resistance, sound memories in armed conflicts, and aquatic landscapes. He has exhibited at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art (Gateshead), Fonoteca Nacional (Ciudad de México), Fragmentos, Espacio de Arte y Memoria (Bogotá), OpenArt Biennial (Örebro, 2017), and the Festival de las Artes de Valparaíso (2018).
