This participatory site- and culture-responsive audio installation, created by Aotearoa (NZ)-born, Sydney-based public artist Allan Giddy, utilises the natural flow of water to convey the voices of First Nations children, speaking their messages to their community, their countries and the world in their First Languages. The children’s words, recorded and edited into soundscapes, are being ‘released’ into the water to flow to the oceans. This work is essentially invisible to passersby, yet the underwater audio can be accessed via a poetically simple means: a pole held with one end in the water, the other against the ear. As the project progresses the words that flow from children around the world will, metaphorically, eventually meet and mix with each other in the interconnected oceans of our globe. This intermingling of First Words will symbolise both the strength and support that First Cultures draw from establishing relationships with each other globally, and the interdependent nature of all humanity. 'Flow' is supported by Creative New Zealand, the Australia Council for the Arts and Create NSW. In Rotorua, Allan is creating 'Rotorua Flow', working with children from schools he attended as a child. The work will incorporate the voices of children from Malfroy Primary School speaking te reo Māori, and the poles will be carved into by students of Whakairo (Maori carving) from Rotorua Boys’ High School. 'Rotorua Flow' is supported by Creative New Zealand, facilitated by Rotorua Lakes Council, and installed on the lakefront, in Te Arawa waters, with the approval of Te Arawa Lakes Trust.
