Boundaries
Boundaries is a video installation that explores the layered, shifting nature of identity through the lived experience of two Latina women in Canada. Through choreography that oscillates between tenderness and tension, playfulness and violence, we examine how identity is shaped—internally and externally—by culture, language, and perception.
As the artists scratch, push, pull, and balance one another, their bodies merge and blur, questioning where one ends and the other begins. This performance unfolds as an ongoing act of self-representation: a search, a resistance, a persistence—a delicate negotiation between authenticity, assimilation, and the need to belong.
This piece invites viewers to reflect on the multiple, often conflicting, layers of identity, and how the gaze of others shapes the way the artists see theirselves.
Artists: Guillermina Buzio and Lorena Salomé

T∆NG∆
Founded in 2009, T∆NG∆ is an ongoing live improvisational electronic music project by Travis Gledhill, Lorena Salomé, Rea McNamara, and Alvaro Girón. The band began with Travis on synth and samples, Lorena using a digital synth created with Pure Data, Rea on samples and keyboard, and Kevin Mayo on guitar and bass. After Kevin’s departure, the group continued as a trio, occasionally collaborating with other musicians and visual artists. In 2011, Alvaro joined the band.
For over a decade, T∆NG∆ has developed extended remix compositions using samples, found footage, and real-time video mixing to explore alternative narratives and modes of creation. In 2016, they released When I Work at Control Data ’82 with Undervolt & Co., an internet-based collective focused on time-based art across diverse formats.
Recorded live at T∆NG∆Party2 on Mar 10th 2011 at NACO Café Gallery, Toronto, Ontario

Traversal Residency
Throughout the residency, organized by Trinity Square Video and Public Visualization Lab in Toronto, Canada, Salomé hosted a series of events that responds to the context of her practice and animated the work being created. Events included a Trinidadian dinner designed and made by writer, curator and public programmer Rea McNamara that explored how food as a form of sustenance and belonging is shared and exchanged between generations; a discussion between Alexandra Gelis & Jorge Lozano about shared experiences as immigrant artists who continue to work in different geographical, social and cultural environment; a workshop on making film loops of Super 8 and 16 mm film led by Alexanda Gelis and Madi PIller; and a Zoom conversation between Salomé and soJin Chun concerning displacement pattern similarities between Toronto’s Regent Park and Rio de Janeiro’s Horto neighbourhoods.
The Alt
The Alt was an artist collective co-founded by Lorena Salomé and Sonny B., dedicated to supporting local artists and designers in Toronto. Through exhibitions, sales, and community events, The Alt created opportunities for artists to showcase their work, connect with other creative communities, and engage in dialogue about urban life. Operating within a non-profit, anti-oppressive framework, the collective organized multidisciplinary events and workshops, emphasizing community outreach, inclusivity, and collaboration.

The Vendart Project
The Vendart Project was an initiative exploring alternative ways of distributing art and ideas in public spaces, emphasizing uncensored, unfiltered content. Active from 2005 to 2007, it used modified fridges and custom-made vending machines to dispense handmade art objects at no cost. Installed in public areas, these machines allowed anyone to take a small piece of art, offering artists a unique platform to share their work and connect with broader audiences. The project fostered community, accessibility, and creative exchange.
