Precarity is defined as a permanent state of existence characterised by uncertainty and lacking in stability or security. In Precarities, presented by Utp as part of Blak Box, First Nations artists share individual and collective experiences of precarity in an electrifying sonic artwork designed to move, provoke and inspire.
This world premiere is taking place at the Cutaway in Barangaroo for two intimate showings from September 2-3. Curated by broadcaster Daniel Browning, it features razor-sharp spoken word and resonant music from leading First Nations creatives like Steven Oliver, Eric Avery, Lorna Munro, Rhyan Clapham (aka Dobby) and Ancestress.
Lighting designer Karen Norris (who also works with Bangarra) facilitates a meditative space within the confines of the cavernous Cutaway venue, which allows for a deeper connection to be forged between the listener and the immediate environment.
Artists will explore a semi-permanent state of precarity felt by First Nations people since colonisation through the most fleeting artefact of human consciousness: sound. It makes for a fully immersive, 60-minute session that resonates long after the show is over.
