Event Details
Since 24 July 2018, six men – Farhad Bandesh, Behrouz Boochani, Samad Abdul, Shamindan Kanapathi, Kazem Kazemi and Abdul Aziz Muhamat – have been sending daily ten minute audio recordings to The Ian Potter Museum of Art from Manus Island, where they have been detained by the Australian govern-ment for the last five years. The recordings are then played back in the gallery throughout the day. This will continue until 28 October 2018 at the end of which 14 hours of sound will have been produced. They are, in effect, developing an archive of what it sounds like to live in limbo.
At this event, we invite listeners to spend one hour with the recordings from this emerging archive – one recording from each man. Melbourne collaborators Michael Green, André Dao and Jon Tjhia will introduce and discuss.
