WHIPS OF SORROW

Sisters Akousmatica – WHIPS OF SORROW

Monday, 7 September⋅11:00 – 11:30am

At 11am this morning it’s Tasmanian radio art duo Sisters Akousmatica with “Whips of sorrow”.

Sisters Akousmatica have been expanding radio projects to explore the radical possibilities of transmission since 2015 within collective and feminist radio practices. From Broom Broom car to Sea Hag boat, Sisters Akousmatica navigate on the edges of ‘legitimate’ broadcast.

“Whips of sorrow” is an improvisation about female convict’s archival data made with electromagnetic frequencies on stolen land, lutruwita. It includes an excerpt from a live performance at TMAG (the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery) for the Dark MOFO 2023 festival, by the nipaluna Hobart based Radio Art duo Sisters Akousmatica (Julia Drouhin and Phillipa Stafford).
