HUSH Facilitator Ben Parangi (Ngāpuhi) and artist and academic Blake Lawrence. Beyond the Studio
HUSH: at Annandale Ghost
Friday 2 October 7pm
113 Parramatta Road, Annandale (near Johnston Street)
Hush is a small, queer ambient music night created on Gadigal Country by takatāpui organiser and facilitator Ben Parangi (Ngāpuhi) and artist and academic Blake Lawrence. Hush makes space for slowing down, immersing guests in gentle, contemplative DJ sets across genres. Attendees are invited to sit or lie in quietude while embarking on auditory journeys through music woven together with queer art, culture, resistance, healing and connectivity.
Hush encourages a different kind of attentiveness: to ourselves and others, to sound and space, to what's carried through them, and importantly, to Country -and the more-than-human ecologies within which all of these are bound. In the thick of turbulent and violent times, Hush makes space through sound, bodies, breath and beats. Away from screens and algorithms, it asks what queer collective life might feel like when we gather differently: carrying hurt, humour and memory together while imagining gentler ways of being with one another and the worlds we inhabit.
This iteration of Hush is co-facilitated by curator and creative producer Katie Winten.
