Reena Katz uses recorded sound, handmade electronics, wood and live performance to create diverse listening spaces. She was born in Guelph, Ontario in 1975, and is currently based out of Toronto. Her work explores gender, ethnicity, migration and anachronism with a constant reference to collectivity and oral archive. Katz focuses on the use and re-use of analog sound technologies, as well as fibers and materials from a variety of wounded landscapes.

Guided by a deep love of collaboration, Katz has developed an inventive and strong voice across disciplines. Her collaborations include film and video, poetry, dance and grassroots organizing. She teaches music, listening practice and audio production in a variety of educational settings.

Katz’s compositions, installations and performances have been exhibited at galleries, festivals and on radio internationally, including Toronto, Montreal, New York and Berlin.
