Cristóbal García Belmont is
an artist, musician, and poet from Lima, Perú. His work explores processes of sound
via performance, sculpture, and poetry as they investigate the circulation of
mediums and materials in complex postcolonial realities. By considering sound
through materials and the built environment, as well as visual languages and
poetry, he explores sound as a political phenomenon with the capacity to
appropriate existing infrastructures and create spaces in which bodies may
resonate, opening discussions about inherited power dynamics and proposing
alternate ways to imagine the realities we collectively inhabit.
Cristóbal received a MS in Art, Culture and Technology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2023) and a BM from Berklee College of Music (2020). He was an instrument manufacturer at Instruō Modular Glasgow (2018) and showcased work at The MassMOCA through the ISM Berlin (2019), the Friedman Gallery with the BIAI and CT::SWAM (2019). He is a resident of Radio Relativa (2024) in Madrid, where his studio practice is based.
