Sonic Program – Anti Ribeiro

On December 14, Anti Ribeiro will perform a live performance as part of the Sonic Program of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo. The event will take place from 4 pm to 5 pm at the work of Precious Okoyomon, located on the ground floor.

In dialogue with the curatorial concept of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo, a group of artists who share a hybrid sonic practice, connecting sound and aesthetic experimentation, present sets in which sound operates as an instrument of memory, resistance, and cultural transformation.

These artists explore sonic sources such as field recordings, interviews, urban noise, Afrodiasporic beats, and soundscapes; they employ sampling, live manipulation, and vinyl records to create tracks that go beyond traditional music. There is a strong emphasis on the discursive dimension of sound: the creative process is grounded both in research and in reflections on subjectivity and political identity, weaving together aesthetic experience and social critique.

For this series of activations, the work Sun of Consciousness. God Blow Thru Me – Love Break Me, by Precious Okoyomon, serves as a reference for each presentation.

The Sonic Program is supported by Petrobras.

Anti Ribeiro is a visual artist, sound designer, DJ, educator, and audiovisual curator. A graduate in Film and Audiovisual Studies from the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), she develops a transdisciplinary practice aligned with the propositions of sonic fiction, a concept formulated by Kodwo Eshun, exploring sound as a speculative, narrative, and political territory. Recent projects include Ficção como arma de guerra [Fiction as a weapon of war] and Ficção sônica: o encontro entre a ficção científica e a sonoridade [Sonic fiction: the encounter between science fiction and sound], offered in the format of educational workshops in which the artist shares her investigations into sound, imagination, and cultural critique. Some of her compositions have been featured at events such as the 2022 Venice Biennale, Festival TONO, Festival AIR, Serpentine Pavilion, among others.
