Acoustic Sovereignties

Acoustic Sovereignties foregrounds resistance to colonial hegemony through sonic intervention, highlighting the ways in which First Nations and non-Western sound-artists reclaim and express their acoustic and spatial histories.

In this exhibition, artists based in Naarm (Melbourne) and Lenapehoking (New York City) articulate their personal and cultural identities through sound, visuals, storytelling, poetry, music and spatial audio.

Featured artists of Native and African American, Chinese and Aboriginal Australian heritage have contributed works that will be presented over an immersive loudspeaker system and a dedicated audio-visual listening space, inviting audiences to engage with their stories over an intimate and unique medium.

There will be a Mob only opening event from 5-6pm on Thursday the 21st of November. There will also be a public opening from 6-8pm on Thursday the 21st of November; all are welcome.
