Water Flows West – A Multisensory Sound & Ceramics Event
Join us for Water Flows West, a one-night-only multisensory event at the heart of Pansy. Musician Annika Moses and Artist Elina Bry come together in an evening of live sound experimentation, exploring water as it moves—west to west—connecting us through place and body.
Working in collaboration with objects created by Alina, the artist behind Pansy, this event delves into the resonance of water, from the vibrations within us to the objects around us. Through sound and ceramics, we invite you to experience an ode to relationships, bodies, and fluidity.
Let the shifting sounds bring you closer to the water your body holds.
Sunday 11 May | 5:30–7:30 PM
Pansy | Czaar Peterstraat 68
Donations welcome
Come, listen, explore.
Annika lives and makes on Whadjuk Noongar land in Boorloo (Perth), so-called Australia. On this land she also likes to write, play, listen, and sew.
For a decade Annika has contributed fervently to the Boorloo music and arts community, through her various musical monikers (as Nika Mo, Great Statue, with Didion’s Bible and Lyndon Blue), through her capacity as co-director (2018-present) of Tone List, a Boorloo-based label for exploratory music, and as a radio presenter on community station RTRFM. As a sound-maker, her work often hovers around voice, improvisation, broadcast, and collaboration. She cuts hair for strictly no money but will accept trades, handmade gifts, treasures, beers and/or favours. She also focuses attention towards nourishing non-human-animal relationships, specifically with her small, wiry-haired dog, Kendrick.
Annika’s work has been premiered and exhibited in festivals including Totally Huge New Music Festival, Fairbridge Festival, Audible Edge, FRINGEWORLD, WAMfest and Sound Spectrum, and installation works at Cullity Gallery and Mundaring Arts Centre. In 2016 she was awarded the Robert Juniper Award for the Arts. Annika’s has received commissioned from Liquid Architecture [Naarm] the National Gallery of Australia [Ngambri country], Sisters Akousmatica [Lutruwita], Tura and Decibel Ensemble.
Elina Bry is French/Finnish, Glasgow based multidisciplinary artist. They work across video, storytelling and live performance, and is interested at listening to and re-staging the malfunctions of the human body. They are curious about the body as a sentient arena; as a responsive tool and as a protagonist of an everyday drama. By that, they investigate the known, model it and work in collaboration with the instability of their body. It is essential that they don't cause any harm as they want to challenge their body with the everyday, in order to give a stage and witness what is already there. The thematic undercurrents of ecology and slow travel prominently weave through their artistic endeavours. Through their multidisciplinary and multilingual approach, they seek to unravel the nuanced interplay between the human form and its environment, exploring the intricacies of the body while maintaining a conscientious connection to ecological and sustainable principles.
Bry’s work has been showcased internationally, spanning Scotland, Australia, Vietnam, and beyond, reaching diverse audiences across exhibitions, screenings, and collaborations.
