This interdisciplinary collaborative project was developed in partnership with Early Modern scholar Dr. Louise Noble from the University of New England and composer Dr. Paul Ballam-Cross from the University of Queensland. Presented to the University of California Oecologies Network, the project explored how historical and contemporary relationships with ocean currents might help us, in a time of extreme ecological precarity, to reorient our perceptions of ecological pasts, presents, and futures.
The project focused on the history of human relationships with the complex system of ocean currents and prevailing weather systems that move between the Indonesian Archipelago and Australia. It looked at currents as agents of memory, repositories of knowledge, keepers of secrets, and conveyors of wisdom, through a creative lens of literature, sound, and video.
