Leber and Chesworth are known for their distinctive video, sound and architecture-based installations that are audible as much as visible. Their works are speculative and archaeological, often involving communities and hinting at unseen forces and non-human perspectives. Wonder through at your own pace and enjoy this fabulous free event. It's open every day of AFCM. Shapes of Listening prompts questions around the act of listening across the water and forest ecologies of Townsville-Gurambilbarra. What if listening were our primary mode of sensing? How might listening practices influence how we sense, understand, and care for the environment? The word โ€˜listeningโ€™ includes listening to what's actually heard, to what's imagined, and โ€˜thinking through listeningโ€™ in natural ecosystems. ๐ŸŒด Using unique camera choreographies imbued with an โ€˜acoustic consciousnessโ€™, Leber and Chesworth capture a range of species and people investigating the environment, utilising sensing, tactile methods and specialist microphones (hydrophones, microbat detectors and contact sensors) to explore different presences and absences in key local environments. ๐Ÿฆ˜ ๐ŸŽ‰AFCM is pleased to partner with Pop-Up North Queensland - PUNQ and Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts to bring you this exciting installation! ๐Ÿ“… Sat 27 July - Sun 11 August โฐ9.30am - 4.30pm ๐Ÿ“ Dancenorth Studio, Cnr Stanley & Walker Streets, Townsville-Gurambilbarra. ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ FREE EVENT https://www.umbrella.org.au/shapes-of-listening/ #AFCM #ShapesOfListening #SoniaLeber #DavidChesworth #PUNQFestival #UmbrellaStudios #ArtInstallation #EnvironmentalArt #FreeEvent #SupportTheArts #australianfestivalofchambermusic #soundslikeparadise #music #festival #townsvill
