Australia

My project explores the ways in which Indigenous Australian artists from the Tiwi Islands invoke ceremonial performance in their artistic practices.

Yolŋu cultural practitioner and activist Mayatili Marika will deliver the W. Wanambi Distinguished Lecture in the Dome Room of the Rotunda on February 3, 2024.

This project explores how new recording technologies (immersive video, spatial audio, and motion capture) can be used to document, preserve, and transmit embodied cultural practices of aboriginal communities in Australia’s Northern Territory.

Concentrated on practices that envision new economic modalities in the global south, this project centers on researching the emergence of solidarity economies in Australia.

The Global Ecoacoustics Project is a collaborative global initiative between the University of Virginia, and institutions in Australia, Colorado and Alaska.
