RMIT, RISING and Practice Research Symposium (PRS) Australia invite you to a panel bringing together leading artists, curators, and researchers to consider the politics and aesthetics of listening on Country, and the role of experimental sound practices in confronting and reconfiguring colonial ways of hearing.

Featuring Raven Chacon, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, performer, and Diné artist from Fort Defiance, Navajo Nation, the discussion situates contemporary sonic practice within broader struggles over sovereignty and knowledge.

Joining him are Hayden Ryan, a Yuin–Walbunja sound artist and researcher, and Dr Kimberley Moulton, a Yorta Yorta curator and writer, Senior Curator of Exhibitions at RISING, and former Adjunct Curator of Indigenous Art at Tate Modern (2023–2026). Moderated by Dr Joel Stern, researcher, curator, and lecturer in the School of Media and Communication at RMIT.
