  • Composed and Produced by: Na'im Fine Fine

  • Performed by: Incredible scientists & the iconic Homophonic! ensemble

This world premiere collapses arts/science boundaries as candid intersectional scientists and musicians serve climate truths and envision co-created futures.

Composer/ecologist & Creative Climate Leadership alumni Na’im Fine Fine layers their exploratory music played by saxes, viola, flutes, double bass and percussion/drumkit with the spoken or signed words of D/deaf, trans, POC, queer, ++ enviro/climate scientists.

Western science colonises knowledge and erases multi-systems wisdoms. Vantage Points ruptures this stranglehold, centring marginalised scientists’ insight stemming from their cultural practices/communities and lived experience.

Na’im’s 15 year ecological composition practice digs deep into past, present and future, most recently composing sound for “Zoë” by award-winning A Good Catch Circus.

The iconic Homophonic! ensemble has been queering Narrm’s “classical” music for over a decade.

Experience this vibrant collaboration between musicians, scientists and composer as words and music propel you past climate crisis towards intersectional decolonised futures.
