On this journey we hear the Sayes Arares songs: a unique sound and tumbuna (ancestral) belief system held and told in the playing of the mambu (bamboo) flutes.
Extending on a creative relationship that has spanned over 30 years, Sayes Arares is a collaborative project by musicians Gaius Wapi, Pius Wasi, Joachim Mamambi, and David Bridie, with video artist K Deverill and the many cultural artists from Changriman Village, Chambri Lakes.
Using the technological capabilities of the David Li Sound Gallery, you will be transported to rural Papua New Guinea for a unique cultural experience that few outsiders are privileged to witness.
Audiences are invited to experience the installation in their own time from 10am to 4pm, Tuesday to Friday. We will also be announcing special ticketed events led by the key artists at times to be confirmed. Stay tuned!
