Nature’s Right

In the historic setting of the Spring Hill Reservoirs, an experimental lis­ten­ing ses­sion trac­ing root sys­tems of botany, psy­chol­ogy, lan­guage and coloni­sa­tion. Artists use voice to unearth sub­ter­ranean threads, tap­ping cham­bered mem­o­ries and gen­er­at­ing new echoes within this former arti­fi­cial body of water.

JAYE CARCARY’s spoken word med­i­ta­tion will open a ground for indi­vid­ual and col­lec­tive lis­ten­ing that can expand, con­tract and reset by recon­nect­ing atten­tion to our bodies, and those of others with whom we share water, air and time.

ANCESTRESS, from Bim­bilove, who is a Birri Gubba and Kun­galu woman, will present an abstract aural explo­ration of plant sto­ries and voice.

LIBBY HARWARD is a Ngugi woman from the Quan­damooka. Her work MINYANGNYINDA YARINYA? MINYANG NYINDA YAGAY BA? (WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?) layers the sounds the plants hear, in the com­po­si­tion of a new noise rite.
