Through her performance, Blackburn understands the important role the arts have in evoking conversation about past, present and future challenges. This is demonstrated in her most recent commission, a multimedia work by Ros Bandt which featured sounds and video capturing the environmental impacts of bushfire, drought, and flood on the New England region. Through this project, Alana developed skills in sound mapping and site-specific sound recording.
Collaborating with Photographer and Multimedia Artist Mike Terry, they will consult with environmental scientists to create a work that combines film, collage and soundscapes to address the question “How can our past inform our future?”
