Penrith Miers Archive

After hours, the room hosts one-off sessions, talks, and listening parties from RISING artists who you wouldn’t usually get to see up close. The lineup has been curated by Yasmine Sharaf host of Cease + Desist on Triple R and Robin Fox, co-founder and artistic director of MESS.

Yuin archivist Madika Penrith and Batemans Bay ethnomusicologist Sam Miers have spent the last few years building compilations of half Indigenous and half newcomer sound through time, from NSW. It’s about enabling people to understand their relationship with their community/Country and to find belonging. In the Listening Room, Penrith Miers Archive will play sections from their Yuin and Wiradyuri Country compilations and discuss their process of putting them together.
