"Veronica Anne Salinas is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, educator, writer, and Deep Listener currently based in Chicago, IL and Texas (US). She works at the intersections of art and creative research in ecology, sonic arts, text, archives, magic, sculpture, video, and performance. Her interdisciplinary projects explore embodied sonic experiences, the tension between becoming and unraveling, feral sensualities, ecological and landscape forms, and the poetics and politics of space. Her work in sound focuses on soundwalks, field recording, text scores, composition, multichannel audio, improvisation, live performance, and Deep Listening. Veronica's interest in Deep Listening emerged during an artistic growth period in Houston, Texas with mentor David Dove and the organization Nameless Sound, formerly the Pauline Oliveros Foundation Houston. As a dedicated listener and teaching artist, Veronica connects with people and organizations to nurture the growth of listening as social practice.

She has participated as an artist and researcher in various projects including: Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology, Boyle Labs, Tablelands Center for Bioregional Art, South Shore Nature Sanctuary, American Religious Sound Project, Cyborg Mestiza: Borderland Feminism Today + Tomorrow, Ragdale Foundation, Roman Susan, National Museum of Mexican Art, Rice University's Center for Engaged Research and Collaborative Learning, and the Chicago Park District.
