Baraya Barray - Whale Song

Published 20 August 2024
I am a multidisciplinary artist, which I think reflects the way my ancestors have practised the interconnectedness of artforms. I often vocalise my written poetry, or create poetry with the potential to be musically interpreted. But more than this, poetry is pattern, and it is everywhere. Beyond mere associations to alphabetic text, poetry can be discerned in Spirit, in Country, in bodies, in objects. Poetry is agency. When I listen with the expectation of hearing, I find there are voices everywhere.
