“Babakiueria” and the Politics of Listening
Disinformation’s chums in Melbourne – the excellent Liquid Architecture – who hosted the Rorschach Audio events at the Monash University Museum of Art and Gertrude Contemporary in 2015, have since organised several more events themed around mishearing… most recently a presentation by Jennifer Stoever on “Sonifying Race, Surveilling Space: the Sonic Color Line and the Listening Ear” (coming up August 25, see link). According to the mail-out, “Sonifying Race” focusses on experiences from the United States. In terms of Australian experience, similar themes were sent-up in the spoof documentary “Babakiueria”, by Don Featherstone, starring Bob Maza (President of the Aborigines Advancement League) back in 1986. Enjoy!
FYI the joke may have been inspired by the (since de-bunked) myth about this author’s namesake Sir Joseph Banks (no relation) and the word “kanguru”.
Thanks to Pete Reeves (from the University of Sydney) for the heads-up (see you next year mate)
