In this panel, we will explore the relationship of place, connection, walking the land and deep listening, from a range of perspectives, knowledges and disciplines, including: First Nations, Law/Governance, Art, Philosophy, Māori cosmologies and Western Science.
With representatives from Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, the discussion will focus on exploring themes of place and nature – touching on the concepts of Dadirri (Miriam Rose Ungunmerr), Robin Wall Kimmerer‘s Braiding Sweetgrass and Basarab Nicolescu‘s exploration of the Sacred as starting points for considering human relationships with the world around us.
The discussion will be free ranging, moving from eco-dyeing and weaving and the significance of plants, to First Nations perspectives on policy, the rights of nature and non-human sentience, to deep listening and eco-acoustics, climate change and philosophy and finally the role of collaboration and co-creation as mitigators of change and awareness.
Guests: Jo Tito (NZ), Dr Leah Barclay (AU), Dr Michelle Maloney (AU) and Dr Ruth Irwin (AU/NZ), chaired by Dr Tracey Benson (AU).
The event is hosted by The Valley Centre and the Australian Earth Laws Alliance. The Valley Centre President, Tracey Cooper will introduce the panel guests and the theme of the conversation.

+4 Remote togetherness – reflections on Prespes and walking in situ
This paper builds on previous work from Prespes 2019, combining memories of walking the land with reflections on COVID-19’s impact on mobility. It explores themes of contested territory, deep listening, and ancestral connections through a performative audio format that integrates poetic, theoretical, and meditative elements.
NOOSA
The 2018 Booin Gari Festival on the Noosa River features AURALITY, an augmented reality audio project that uses GPS location to trigger evolving soundscapes inspired by Queensland’s rainforests, rivers, and reefs. Visitors explore the sounds by moving through active zones on the app, with audio adapting throughout the festival for a dynamic, site-specific experience.
Walking slowly while recording the unseen
Get behind the microphone to discover how one makes compelling audio recordings that engage both armchair listeners and those of us out and about on foot. We are delighted to have brought together four creatives who have travelled to remote places, revealed hidden histories, and captured the soundscapes and voices of past and present, to enable us to sit back in comfort or stride forward to listen to what is unseen.

A leap into the sonic future: Taking stock of the possibilities of locative audio for drama – and drama for locative audio
These days it is possible to locate any form of media pretty much anywhere on the planet which has a GPS signal. The whole world is up for grabs as a readymade stage set. Changing the soundtrack to the ‘movie of our lives’ changes everything.
