Listening to earth
Created by sound artist Diana Chester, composer Damien Ricketson and artist Fausto Brusamolino, Listening to Earth explores the vibrational interplay between the sea and the land. Recordings of NSW coastal environments captured with microphones, hydrophones, geophones as well as custom-built listening instruments have been recomposed and configured for a specially designed listening room.
As climate change intensifies and resource extraction erodes complex ecosystems, many people are experiencing profound grief over the loss of species, landscapes and their cultural connections. Environmental anthropologist, Dr Sophie Chao, presents the 2024 Iain McCalman Lecture exploring the Indigenous Marind People’s practice of ‘multispecies mourning’ in West Papua. Join us in exploring how commemorating lives lost and forging multispecies solidarities can be an act of resistance to the ongoing ecological upheaval.
