Post-Budots: Mutation, Diffusion, and Vernacular Futures
The artist and researcher Jorge Juan B. Wieneke V dives into the histories, communities, aesthetics, technologies, and material conditions of budots. Spending time with some of the genre’s originators while also reaching out to artists adopting and carrying the sound further worldwide, a fascinating conversation emerges, where questions of origin, ownership, authenticity, visibility, and access are treated as ongoing asymmetries that require dialogue, engagement, curiosity, responsibility, and community.
