RoseyRavelston Books lawson, australia Artist Andrew Belletty will present the two recent works as case studies in ethical listening, the first being Knockem Down Sound System, a community driven site and culture activation which I led in Darwin April 2024. The second being the creation and exhibition of three complex site responsive works for Noctambulation in Darwin, exhibited Oct 16-Non 18th 2024. Andrew Belletty, an Indian-born Australian artist and researcher based in the Blue Mountains, will present two recent Darwin-based projects. These initiatives address the town’s declining social fabric, particularly among disengaged youth. Belletty’s work demonstrates how carefully designed listening interventions can foster empathy and meaningful engagement. His approach is influenced by his upbringing in Darwin’s tropical environment and extensive experience in cinematic sound design within diverse cultural contexts.
