Chromatogram of Plumwood Grove, 2024

This bioacoustics and chromatogram making workshop, facilitated by Sophia Dacy-Cole, Ruby Kammoora, Broni Sargeson and Sammy Hawker, was held in the Plumwood Mountain garden on the 13th October, 2024. It explored listening as a form of activism, the sentience of the unseen, and disintegration as metamorphosis where boundaries of the human and more-than human dissolve. During the workshop, participants walked through the forest, listened to a live amplification of the garden through contact microphones / hydrophones, and then co-created an artwork with a sample of soil.
