The inter-media exhibition Sounding Botany Bay presents documentary photographs, audio compositions and video of Botany Bay - one of Australia's most significant cultural and natural sites - made by artist and 2006 Fullbright Senior Scholar, Timothy Nohe. The rich voices, sounds and sights of the bay are blended into an aural and visual landscape that heightens and contrasts what is and has been, so that the visitor may experience the past and contemporary complexity of Botany Bay while reflecting on its future, and that of other shifting landscapes around the globe, near and far.
