AB  - Acoustic Sovereignties (2024) is a First Nations, anti-colonial spatial audio exhibition held in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia. Through curatorial and compositional practices, Acoustic Sovereignties confronts traditional soundscape and Western experimental sound disciplines by foregrounding marginalised voices. As this research will show, the foundations of sound-based practices such as Deep Listening and Soundscape Studies consisted of romanticised notions of Indigenous spirituality, in addition to the intentional disregard for First Nations stewardship and kinship with the land and its acoustic composition. Acoustic Sovereignties aims at reclaiming Indigenous representation throughout sound-based disciplines and arts practices by providing a platform for voices, soundscapes and knowledge to be heard.
