The Blindside Emerging Curator Mentor program is focused on curatorial research and the development of an exhibition at Blindside. This year's program has been developed in partnership with Liquid Architecture as a re-establishment of the Blindside X Liquid Architecture Sound Series. Acoustic Sovereignties foregrounds resistance to colonial hegemony through sonic intervention, highlighting the ways in which First Nations and non-Western sound-artists reclaim and express their acoustic and spatial histories. In this exhibition, artists based in Naam (Melbourne) and Lenapehoking (New York City) articulate their personal and cultural identities through sound, visuals, storytelling, poetry, music and spatial audio. Featured artists of Native and African American, Chinese and Aboriginal Australian heritage have contributed works that will be presented over an immersive loudspeaker system and a dedicated audio-visual listening space, inviting audiences to engage with their stories over an intimate and unique medium. There will be a Mob only opening event on Thursday the 21st of November from 5-6pm. there will also be a public opening event from 6-8pm; all are welcome.
