About Sisters Akousmatica
lurtruwita/Tasmania based radio queens Sisters Akousmatica (Phillipa Stafford and Julia Drouhin) have produced expanded radio projects that explore the radical possibilities of transmission since 2016. They create curatorial, artistic and written projects which are concerned with collective radio practices, auditory-spatial exploration and the potential of emergent art forms to support and promote socio-cultural and gender minorities in the field of sound arts.
Sisters Akousmatica have created large-scale public transmission projects, retreats, workshops, publications and commissions with organisations such as Castlemaine State Festival, Liquid Architecture, Next Wave Festival, Hobiennale, Mona Foma, Junction Festival, Espace Multimedia Gantner, The Channel, Signal, Radiophrenia, ACCA, Vitalstatistix’s Adhocracy, JRM Paris, Fair-Play, RealTime, Doing Feminism/Sharing the world (ARC project with Dr Anne Marsh), Island Magazine, Auricle, ICMA-Array, Make It Up Club, and Radical Networks Berlin. Sisters Akousmatica and 3CR were awarded the CBAA Excellence in Music Programming award at the 2017 Community Broadcasting Association of Australia Conference. Their book/score SK was the winner of the Women in Sound Women on Sound prize in 2018 and they were finalists for the Women's Art Prize Tasmania 2019 which toured their installation RISING in regional art centres.
Their work has been featured in Doing Feminism (Dr Anne Marsh, Melbourne University Press) and was the subject of Annika Moses’ honours thesis, Sisters Akousmatica’s embodied radio: discursive strategies to support gender minorities in the sound arts (Edith Cowan University).
In 2022 Sisters Akousmatica will relaunch their website, supported by the Australia Council for the Arts, to develop their Hyper_Local transmission project and on-going research.
