SONIC TERRITORIES: WAMBUUL
Wambuul bila soundtrack and Wambuul Stories release //
World Rivers Day, 25 September 2022
Sonic Territories: Wambuul is a multi-staged creative project consisting of storytelling, community events and the creation of art, centred on the Wambuul/ Macquarie River—taking in Wellington, Dubbo and Narromine. This project has taken place on the lands of the Wiradjuri Nation.
This is a community project, where stories of the river’s past and present may be shared for all to better understand the importance of the river to the human and more-than-human life in our region.

When art, science and community come together it allows us to understand the complexity and sensitivities around social and ecological belonging. Art has the power to break down barriers, provoke conversations, and importantly, transcend the politics that too often dictate our regional futures.

INHALARE/BREATHE UPON
SPACE, Coonabarabran NSW // 15 May – 16 June 2022
Inhalare / breathe upon aims to transform familiar landscapes into unfamiliar territories. In stages, 12 regionally-based artists of NSW have explored natural environments close to home to develop soundscapes, writings and visual works capturing deep connections and hidden layers, allowing our imaginations to explore those environments that sustain us during times of restricted movement.

SOUNDWALKS
Kim has led two soundwalks in 2022. The Tiger Bay Wetlands Soundwalk was part of the public programming for the MOSSES AND MARSHES exhibition at the Window on the Wetlands Centre at Warren NSW. The Wambuul Soundwalk on the Macquarie River in Dubbo was one of the free community events as part of the Sonic Territories: Wambuul project.
The sound walk allowed me to reflect on the impact we have on the river in a way I had not considered before. It was interesting to observe the soundscape at different locations and acknowledge the noise pollution that we humans have come to accept as ‘normal’.

THE POWER OF SOUND
This video was produced as part of the pilot The Power of Sound field recording course developed with assistance from Mudgee Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC), Orana Arts, and funding from the Country Arts Support Program (CASP) through Create NSW in 2021.
This video was produced for the CORRIDOR project’s Science Hub Orange Cowra Cabonne 2020 Program. The focus is environmental corridors, soundscapes, plant + bird identification relative to monitoring techniques, habitat and waterways.
