Nirmali Fenn Sculpture Garden Sound Installation

Join us in the sculpture garden for this one time only sound installation by Composer Nirmali Fenn.

Through her music, Nirmali Fenn believes the creative impulse can act as a tool of resistance to conflict to assist with our sensitization to the plight of others, including our ability to hear the struggles of marginalized voices. This theme resonates strongly with her for as a child, she was orphaned in Sri Lanka during its civil war. Another artistic focus is to encourage performers to ‘see’ with their ears, and the process of composing is to translate spatial ‘views’. She believes that sonic vibration gives audiences the opportunity to experience the volume of the spaces in which they exist.

This composition is inspired by the way bioacoustics is revitalizing the Great Barrier Reef.
