Emeka Ogboh used years of field recordings to create layered soundscapes of his hometown, Lagos in Nigeria. When he moved to Berlin, he added music and combined the sounds of both global cities in critically acclaimed albums. Now Emeka is in nipaluna / Hobart for Mona Foma, where he's making work with the locals – including 2023 Tasmanian of the Year John Kamara.My Thing is... the chickenosaurus. As a teenager, JESWRI took to tagging to 'disrupt' the omnipresent advertising in his inner-city neighbourhood. But unlike many of his mates, JESWRI turned his graffiti into a career that's led to gallery commissions, community murals of Indigenous heroes and –ironically– advertising. The 'chickenosaurus' is his latest art project for Not Natural at the Science Gallery Melbourne.Artist-inventor Jessie French has turned dried algae into a plastic product that perhaps could one day replace one of the more toxic plastic products around. Jessie's Melbourne studio is unlike a lab in that most of her experiments have resulted in beautiful artworks – sheets of colourful, transparent biopolymer.

There's a healthy chaos to Mona Foma. Like Mona (Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art) itself, the festival blends humour and absurdity with art from musicians and artists from around the world, stretching beyond the museum walls into Hobart and Launceston. Festival director and Violent Femmes bassist Brian Ritchie has seen Mona Foma into its 16th year, and knows to embrace the chaos and unpredictability – like letting 2024 festival headliner Queens of the Stone Age book themselves.

In this episode we speak to Rachael Azzopardi and Lee Cumberlidge, both boomerangs, who came together to create Illuminate Adelaide. Shining a light on South Australia for the month of July, Illuminate Adelaide welcomes people from all walks of life to experience a program of free and ticketed events by local, national and international artists and companies.Over a 25-year career in the arts, there isn't much Rachael Azzopardi hasn't done. From steering the musical spread of Barrie Kosky's legendary 1996 Adelaide Festival program to overseeing the casting of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. She has travelled around the world to work with the industry's biggest names across virtually every form and market, from Hong Kong to Broadway.After many years spent living and working away most recently in senior roles at Sydney Theatre Company, Sydney Festival and Chunky Move, Rachael returned to her hometown with a purpose. She saw incredible things happening across the state's arts and technology sectors, and felt moved to break down old silos and expectations to give Adelaide something it had never experienced before; something accessible, immersive, city-wide. Something new.Rachael has put her depth of knowledge and experience to work exploring unchartered territory to bring Illuminate Adelaide to life together with Co- Founder and Creative Director Lee Cumberlidge.After cutting his teeth with WOMADelaide and Arts Projects Australia, Lee spent the next ten years as a producer bringing major international artists and experimental independent works alike to audiences around the world as well as staging large scale arts events such as the Cultural Festival of the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games and the World Theatre Festival in Brisbane.In 2008 Lee and the company he co-founded, Insite Arts, were called upon by Brian Ritchie and David Walsh to bring a bold, untested vision of Hobart and Tasmania to life. More than a festival, Mona Foma became a Helpmann-winning experiment in reinvention, transforming the southern capital into an international arts destination.In 2017, Lee returned to Adelaide, where his passion for working with artists and creating new experiences for audiences found new inspiration.Lee produced the Adelaide iteration of the highly acclaimed experimental music festival Unsound in Adelaide in 2017 and 2018 before rejoining Arts Projects Australia as a co-director to produce tours of international work. Most recently Lee has teamed up with Rachael Azzopardi to create Illuminate Adelaide; a new, city-wide winter event focused on art, light, music and technology.

Indie legend Brian Ritchie of Violent Femmes appears on the latest installment of Gone In 30 Minutes to chat about life on the big, blue(ish) marble. A seminal figure of punk, Ritchie thinks back to his upbringing in Milwaukee, the band’s…let’s say…less-than-ideal deal with Slash Records and the incessant nature of music itself. And Ritchie hasn’t stopped either—in addition to curating for annual music and arts festival MONA FOMA, in his homeland of Tasmania, he’s been broadcasting daily performances so we never lose touch of that “American Music.”
This episode is a special edition produced by Liquid Architecture and co presented by Contemporary Art Tasmania featuring interviews and audio from the recent instrument builders project as part of Mona Foma 2021 – a durational performance held at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, Launceston, Tasmania. Instrument Builders Project’s (IBP) avant-garde, transdisciplinary and socially engaged approach has, over its previous four iterations in Indonesia, Australia and Japan, generated many fruits for the artistic communities involved. In short IBP is where artists invent, build, present and perform using invented ‘instruments’ that mix traditional and contemporary forms including sound sculpture, installation, improvisation and performance through international residencies. Each IBP is configured differently, however pre-pandemic iterations have consistently worked with an intensive 3-week international residency model, whereby new and alumni IBP artists work in a collaborative setting, culminating in an in-situ performance/presentation. IBP5 is a partnership project presented by Contemporary Art Tasmania, Liquid Architecture and Volcanic Winds. Curated by Kristi Monfries, Joel Stern and Lisa Campbell-Smith, featuring artists Richie Cyngler, Julia Drouhin, Dylan Sheridan and Pip Stafford IBP5 is supported by Australia Japan Foundation, Asialink, Regional Arts Fund, Mona Foma and The School of Architecture & Design, UTAS With very special thanks to Mara Schwerdtfeger (sound producer) and Mish Szekelyhidi (documentation and audio.
One of the Mona Foma festivities this year is a public treasure hunt at Taroona's Hinsby Beach, in the so-called "Bay of Pearls". - Στην εβδομαδιαία ανταπόκριση από την Τασμανία: η συμφωνία με την Βικτώρια για 1500 εποχικούς εργάτες, o εντοπισμός ενός σπάνιου είδους αστακο-καραβίδας και ένα κυνήγι θησαυρού από το μουσείο ΜΟΝΑ
In partnership with Tasmania's Mona Foma festival, an audio episode to be paired with artist Tim Coad's installation in Knocklofty Reserve, Hobart, 22-24 January 2021. Hear a special introduction in which Tim discusses his artwork, followed by a talk about Aboriginal fire culture by Andry Sculthorpe and Billy Paton-Clarke, with music by Emily Wurramara. Many Australians view fire as a destructive force, but there's more than one type of fire. Aboriginal people have been burning this country for centuries, helping to encourage native vegetation, improve food availability for humans and animals, and restoring balance in the ecosystem. Knocklofty Reserve was a very different environment not so long ago, but when we look out at the vegetation there today, we rarely see what's been lost and what's misplaced. Reigniting Aboriginal fire culture in Tasmania is a crucial step towards restoring our connection to country and our ability to understand and respect our fragile habitats.The suggested walking location for this episode is Knocklofty Reserve, Hobart, Tasmania.Learn more at www.sciartwalks.com.au
