Artist Talk & Performance with Dani Amaro – Soundscape Field Station AiR

March 15, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

On March 15th at the Doris Leeper House in Canaveral National Seashore, the ACA Soundscape Field Station Artist in Residence, Dani Amaro will share an artist talk and performance to debut the sound-art installation created during her time living and working in the park. This piece is a site-specific, tactile sound sculpture made from Sargassum (seaweed) and materials representing the cultures of Florida, such as Sankofa ironwork. She states, “sargassum is known to filter out unwanted debris from our oceans as well as provide refuge for marine life such as shrimps and sea turtles. One is invited to draw parallels and contemplate the similar functions of preservation, protection, intimacy, and shelter that Sankofa ironwork provides to the many homes of historically displaced peoples.” Amaro’s approach to environmental storytelling combines the process of sustainably creating textiles from organic materials to broaden her practice by exploring new ways audiences can tangibly experience music. She is a trained jazz musician and music teacher in Miami, Florida who shares her heritage across distance from the Global South to Florida.
