In collaboration with colleagues in Indonesia and Australia she runs Volcanic Winds, an arts organisation based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Over the last decade she has focused on how artists from the region are transforming the traditional musics of Southeast Asia into radical contemporary works for public presentation.
