Kirsten Hudson’s exhibition Ode (An Acknowledgement of Sea Country) has been commissioned as part of The Ocean Project 2024, it features new artworks that explore and communicate complex ideas including scientific and cultural information and human emotions that relate to the ocean.
Kirsten Hudson has brought her own research together with consultation with CSIRO Environment research scientists, including mathematician Dr Fabio Boschetti, psychologist Dr Matt Andreotta, marine ecologist Dr Cindy Bessey and Engineer Nick Mortimer, exploring different knowledge systems including Western science, First Nations knowledge and the ineffable of human emotions in connection with the ocean, to produce an exquisite installation of artworks that have in material form embodied the ocean.
Kirsten Hudson is a transdisciplinary artist scholar living on Whadjuk Noongar boodjar, who creates film, performance, and object-based works that visually speculate upon, human, non-human, and more-than-human embodiment. Hudson also publishes on subjects such as: maternal loss; the ethics/aesthetics of performance; collaborative transdisciplinary pedagogy; bio-art and the materiality of “life”; as well as speculative fiction. She has a PhD in Fine Art and is a Screen Arts, Cultural Studies, & Photography lecturer at Curtin University, WA
In the ongoing 'climate wars', the Great Barrier Reef has become a symbol of everything that we have to lose from global warming. For years, reports of the world-famous coral being irreversibly bleached have fuelled an ideological battle between those fighting to stop the damage and those who insist the danger is overblown.
Paul Hardisty found himself in the middle of this fight during his six years as CEO of the Australian Institute of Marine Science. In this fascinating, candid and urgent book, he dives into the history of the reef and cuts through the rhetoric to chart the circumstances and acceleration of its decline, as well as the determined efforts to save it.
Join Dr Paul E Hardisty, in conversation with Paul Gamblin, for this special event.
Date: Wednesday 26th June 2024
Time: 6:00pm- 8:00pm
Venue: Auditorium, Indian Ocean Marine Research Centre (IOMRC)

Here in Western Australia, we are fortunate to have nearly 13,000 kilometres of breath-taking coastline as our home. The ocean is more than just a backdrop - it's part of our history, culture, and way of life.
But the ocean faces challenges, both locally and globally. We need to take action to ensure this incredible resource stays healthy and vibrant for generations to come.
