Sonic Program – Raiany Sinara

On November 21, Raiany Sinara will perform a live performance as part of the Sonic Program of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo. The event will take place from 5 pm to 6 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.

Raiany Sinara is an artist from Mato Grosso do Sul. She works as a music producer and creates soundtracks, performances, and experimental videos. She uses the aesthetics of synthesizers blended with samples and recordings of natural environments, creating a point of connection and friction between past, present, future, the natural and the synthetic. In 2025, she has been dedicating herself to poetic research in experimental compositions, where words and machines meet on riverbanks and in synthetic sounds created over the past eight years. In 2024, she received the Seed Award from the Dutch Prince Claus Foundation and was an artist-in-residence at the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro.
