DAM(N) Protest Chant

The DAM(N) Project soundcloud is a preview of a large-scale interdisciplinary project that connects Australian and Indian communities around a common concern: water security. It presents the lives of remote communities in the Narmada Valley of North India, displaced by large-scale dam development securing hydropower for Indian cities. The construction of large dams on the River Narmada in India and its impact on millions of people living in the river valley has become one of the most important social issues in contemporary India. 

This project uses the many viewpoints and the living culture in the affected areas as building blocks for the creative process for a series of site-specific installations and a touring production in collaboration with Attakkalari, the leading contemporary dance company based in India. The key Australian collaborators include director Jehan Kanga, media artist Shakthi Sivanathan and composer / sound artist Leah Barclay. These soundscapes draws on material from the first DAM(N) creative development in December 2011.
