Hosted by investigative journalist Antony Loewenstein, THE PALESTINE LABORATORY is a new podcast series examining how Israel is reshaping conflict and population control globally.
Inspired by Loewenstein’s bestselling book of the same name, the series “takes listeners on a global journey into the Palestine laboratory, how it developed, how it works, why it’s so attractive for many nations, how it’s fuelled by anti-Palestinian racism and been deployed on a massive scale since October 7, 2023.”

“Dreamy is a collection of mindful audio stories from the First Storytellers – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. These stories bring an age-old practice of oral storytelling into the digital space, helping people slow down and connect to Country.
The stories aren’t bound to western notions of place and time. They carry you in every direction – desert Country, saltwater Country, river Country, and beyond. They invite you to bask in the present moment and listen deeply to your surroundings.” - Common Ground

Curation for @library_vic by Jade Hadfield
MULUNA EXPRESS is a 3-channel video work created by Yorta Yorta artist Jason Tamiru in collaboration with Silky Jazz Films.
The piece was commissioned for the State Library of Victoria’s MIRROR: NEW VIEWS ON PHOTOGRAPHY exhibition, which showcased more than 140 photographs from the State Collection alongside creative responses from emerging and established Victorian storytellers.
“It’s a story about Muluna the spirit that travels on our Country from the city to the mountains, to the rivers, to the oceans and back to the city. And Muluna the spirit, he acknowledges creation softly on his journey, which in turn heals the country.” - Jason Tamiru

We’re proud to have collaborated with @jacksteeledirector and @commongroundfirstnations to contribute score and sound design to this year’s FIRST NATIONS BEDTIME STORIES: a collection of Wiradjuri Dreaming stories from Jack’s community in Orange.
“These stories don’t just serve as entertainment. Each story has meaning, a message, a warning. They serve to remind us of how things came to be, how we should treat each other, and to respect the Lore of Yindyamarra (Lore of Respect) by remembering that all things are connected and have meaning.” – Jack Steele.
The films will be released 21-25 November. You can sign up for free at
EMERGENCY - PREMIERE (2022)
For the world premiere of Carey Williams’ feature film EMERGENCY, we worked with creative studio Little Cinema to create a bespoke 360° audiovisual experience celebrating the story, themes and artists behind the film.
Incorporating material drawn directly from the film master and our own suite of motion graphics, the piece was projection-mapped on the walls of the Van Gogh Museum, Los Angeles.

I AM THE NIGHT: FYC EVENT (2019)
To celebrate TNT's Emmy nomination for their hit series I Am The Night, we created a 10 minute documentary-video-art-music-piece, screened with live vocals from Golden Brooks at TNT's FYC event.
We created a unique aesthetic for the piece by combining content from the series with original animation inspired by the structural cinema and video art of the 1960s. The piece included an interview with series director, Patty Jenkins woven seamlessly into the video collage.
The piece was screened with live vocals from series star Golden Brooks, singing along to our own bespoke remix of one of the musical moments from the series.
