Credits: Photography & Filming - Nicky Kuautonga, David Bridie, Melinda Lucas Video edited - Nicola Bell -------------- In the northeastern corner of the Coral Sea is a group of reefs, atolls, and islands, a complex aqua/archi-pelago - where the 9000 residents share more than 15 languages and one overarching cosmology of respect, which they refer to as Qat. In 2018, Sandy Sur invited a team of producers and researchers to experience the Dung Verei - the sounds of four of these islands: Gaua, Ureparapara, Rowa and Mota Lava. From soaring vocal harmonies to the breathy solos of elders, from bamboo pipes to ground plates, these recordings have been curated with the chiefs and the communities. Nēvēnek is music grounded in place, while also presenting a sense of how the people of Torba see themselves as situated in a contemporary world; indeed the recordings here connect Banks Islanders to Queensland through the Pacific Island slave-trade on the late 19th century, to the first arrival and acceptance of traders and missionaries, to the global process of decolonisation and nation-forming in the late 20th century. Nēvēnek is a compendium of an oral history that is alive and evolving.
