The Pacific region is one of the most severely impacted areas in the world by climate change, but many of the countries comprising the Pacific are amongst the lowest contributors to ecological crisis. This talk will discuss the interconnections between Indigenous Pacific popular music and climate justice, focusing on the music of artists such as Stan Walker, Maisey Rika, Tiki Taane, Te Vaka, Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole, Herbs, and Alien Weaponry.

This music, located in drum and bass, heavy metal, Pacific fusion, Pacific reggae, and further genres, provides commentary on and insights into Indigenous Pacific environmental relationalities and praxes of climate justice.

This is an in person event which will be recorded for sharing online after the event.

Price: Free
