Where Lakes Once Had Water (2020) by artists Sonia Leber and David Chesworth is a highly detailed 30-minute audio-video artwork channelling the experience of the artists who travelled to the Northern Territory with Associate Professor Tim Cohen (UOW) and Dr Cassandra Rowe (JCU) during fieldwork with Traditional Owners, rangers and participants from the Marlinja, Elliot, Jawoyn and Larrakia communities. My role in this project has been wide reaching: in the provision of palaeoecological content, hosting in the field and laboratory, draft feedback discussions, interviews and numerous public engagement events. Artist’s statement: “Our project tests the hypothesis that the Earth is experienced and understood through different but interconnected ontologies. These ways of being, seeing, sensing, listening and thinking can align with art, Indigenous thought, science, ancient and modern cultures, the non-human, and somewhere in between”. https://epicaustralia.org.au/podcast/wlohw/ https://www.cdu.edu.au/events/where-lakes-once-had-water https://offtheleash.net.au/events/view/where-lakes-once-had-water-sonia-leber-david-chesworth
