Description
This presentation will report on progress to date on the ARC DP, Revitalising Country: The Lurujarri and Tjilbruke Walking Trails (2020-2024), and its proposed extension into a new Linkage Project, Soundtrails: Producing Digital Sound Maps on Indigenous Country. In a sense, both projects go back to the teachings of Paddy Roe, who took Muecke and the painter Krim Benterrak walking on Roebuck Plains for Reading the Country (1984), as Muecke made audio recordings. Roe later created the Lurujarri Heritage Trail, which has been going for over 30 years.
The new Project, partnering with Sewell’s Soundtrails, will research stories of Indigenous and non-Indigenous connections to Country that have rarely been mapped together in complex, layered soundscapes. The research problem centres around how to research and map live dialogues and stories on living Country with non-human voices as well.
