Planetary Ethics Through the Mangrove Lens: An Artist Talk

Join artist–researcher, Pratyay Raha for an artist talk about his exhibition Future Sonic Ecologies.

This talk will explore mangrove worlds as multispecies soundscapes, where tides, wind, animal movement and human technologies compose complex rhythms we can learn from.

Framing listening as a critical method, Raha connects sound as a critical mode of engagement with the more-than-human worlds to spark conversation on conservation, environmental change and regenerative futures. 

The session invites active participation and ethical reflection: How might we listen—and act—across species and technological boundaries? The session will include a discussion on environmental concerns and planetary ethics.

This public program is presented by RMIT University as part of the exhibition 'Future Sonic Ecologies" at First Site Gallery.
