$Conversation \u2013 artist Kirsten Hudson with marine research scientists Fabio Boschetti and Matt Andreotta$

View Kirsten Hudson’s new artwork Ode (An Acknowledgement of Sea Country) that has been commissioned to explore and communicate complex ideas including scientific and cultural information and human emotions related to the ocean.
Join Kirsten Hudson in conversation with CSIRO Environment research scientists, mathematician Dr Fabio Boschetti and psychologist Dr Matt Andreotta at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery and stay for refreshments.
Kirsten Hudson is a transdisciplinary artist scholar living on Whadjuk Noongar boodjar, who creates film, performance, and object-based works that visually speculate upon, human, non-human, and more-than-human embodiment. Hudson also publishes on subjects such as: maternal loss; the ethics/aesthetics of performance; collaborative transdisciplinary pedagogy; bio-art and the materiality of “life”; as well as speculative fiction. She has a PhD in Fine Art and is a Screen Arts, Cultural Studies, & Photography lecturer at Curtin University, WA.
Dr Fabio Boschetti is an applied mathematician with multidisciplinary experience, including modelling of ecological and socio-economic processes. His work is currently applied to the management of natural resources and their interaction with human activities.
Dr Matthew Andreotta is a postdoctoral fellow at CSIRO Environment. He blends social and cognitive psychology with data science techniques to identify what people believe and why they believe it. He has applied his methods to pressing societal issues, such as marine resource management, climate change, the influence of misinformation, scientific communication, and detection of research with misconduct or integrity concerns.
The artwork commission has been sponsored by the Friends of the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery.
