Sonora investigates the soundscapes of the Museum island in Berlin by mapping the traveling memories of musicians whose music resonates in the corners, pathways, bridges and corridors of the Island. The musicians form part of a complex constellation of musical genealogy and journeys of migration. Miguel continues to examine these soundscapes by drawing the disparities between tourists, business people, ‘locals’ and ‘others’.

‘Sonora‘ a series of Musical encounters / Sonic interventions in collaboration with musicians on Museum Island, Berlin.
In an attempt to counteract the impersonal presentations of Museum Island given by its institutions, artist Miguel Buenrostro has brought together different musicians that earn a living playing music for visitors, locals and workers in the streets of Museum Island. Normally a touristic zone characterised by anonymous encounters and communicative neglect, the Museum Island is set up as a stage for new, meaningful encounters.

Musica para Tercer Paisaje was a sonic intervention during La Casa del Jaguar (The Jaguar House); an artistic program developed by Miguel Buenrostro and Nicolás Kisic Aguirre. The program unfolds as a series of sonic interventions in which artists from Latin America are invited to improvise and reflect on communal narratives and possible worlds.
The series of works reflect on the recurrent figure of the Jaguar in mesoamerican pluriversal cosmologies. From the Mayans to the Incas, the jaguar is not seen as a dualist entity but as a relational being that inhabits nocturnal and intraterrestrial spaces. The jaguar is also linked to fertility, agriculture, destruction and ritualistic shamanic practices. La casa del Jaguar is a homage to the relational worlds of the Americas and creates an open space of radical imagination and co-sharing in the BLO ateliers site.
