Listening in the Anthropocene: Exhibition update

This week, this work would have travelled to Wagga Wagga and formed part of the exhibition Listening in the Anthropocene. The exhibition has been postponed due to Covid-19.

It feels strangely okay, even comforting, to be staying home at this time. Meeting those who have been working on these ideas (and this symposium) will hopefully be somewhere in my future, and I quietly look forward to it. For now, I mark the occasion with this post. The photograph featured was taken just before the rains came across NSW, in Brewarrina on the land of the Ngemba, Ualarai, Murrawarri and Wailwan people. Borrowing its title 'Your one wild and precious life' from Mary Oliver's poem, The Summer Day, this work asks us to consider the preciousness of all life. It pays tribute to the non-human lives lost as a result of human behaviour and our often reckless desire for progress.
