Winta (Wintana) Hagos
Winta (Wintana) Hagos is a Toronto based multisensory artist and sound sculptor whose practice investigates sound and light as interrelated systems that translate memory, movement, and cultural experience into perceptible form. Working across installation, performance, and research, she uses vibration, reflection, and resonance to study how frequency behaves as material and how it can be composed spatially. Through ongoing experimentation with cymatics, spatial audio, and responsive illumination, Hagos builds environments where sound generates visible structure and light becomes a time based layer of experience. Informed by her work in sound healing and Yoga Nidra, Hagos is interested in deep listening, attention, and meditation states as compositional tools, and how these conditions shape form, rhythm, and collective sensory experience. Her projects often draw from East African diasporic memory and archival ways of gathering, using sound and light to hold presence, transmission, and shared perception.
