El proyecto EnAguas Resonantes nace con la idea de crear colaboraciones, difusión e intercambios entre Latinoamérica y Europa con compositoras-creadoras de música nueva de diferentes países, a través de festivales y/o proyectos de difusión y creación de redes entre instituciones, asociaciones, plataformas, entidades educativas, colectivos, etc. para la visibilización, posicionamiento, autarquía e independencia a través de la igualdad de oportunidades para los grupos que han sido históricamente marginados por género, origen étnico, condición social, etc.Ante la falta de oportunidades y el limitado acceso a los espacios ya que son regidos por élites en el ámbito de la música académica —especialmente en Latinoamérica—, surgen iniciativas como la que se propone en este proyecto. Consideramos fundamental para el diálogo, intercambio y enriquecimiento de la escena musical actual crear espacios, alianzas y colaboraciones donde antes no existían, favoreciendo a grupos históricamente marginados, como las compositoras y artistas que se identifican dentro de la comunidad LGTBQ+.Este proyecto cuenta con 13 compositoras de 7 países de Latinoamérica y sus proyectos, redes, festivales y/o colectivos, mujeres con sólida trayectoria profesional, y compromiso con el activismo por lograr igualdad y respeto en diferentes ámbitos desde la música combinada con la ciencia, la tecnología, el ambientalismo, la neurodiversidad, difusión y gestión cultural, entre otros.
