Event description
Expanding on their recent e-flux Architecture essay, A tour around the mudflats, Kaya Barry and Samid Suliman meditate on the connections formed by migratory birds between people, places, species, histories, and futures.
In response to Thao Nguyen Phan’s Becoming Alluvium, Barry and Suliman explore how thinking with and through the journeys of migratory shorebirds of Moreton Bay, such as the Far Eastern Curlew and the Bar-tailed Godwit, enable new ways of generating and perceiving connections between the very local to the distant elsewhere. By tracing the real and imagined linkages between the Mekong and Maiwar, Barry and Suliman also consider the importance of contemporary art to help us reimagine regional ecologies and human geographies in our warming world.
This event is live at the IMA, Kaya Barry will be joining remotely via Zoom. This talk will also be livestreamed via our Facebook page.
