Indigenous music legacy celebrated with new exhibition

Let Our Songs Speak for Us is an interactive exhibition that celebrates 50 years of the Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music (CASM).

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will celebrate 50 years of Indigenous music education with a new interactive exhibition.

Let Our Songs Speak for Us tells the story of the Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music (CASM) and its ground-breaking history.

CASM, which sits within the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 Elder Conservatorium of Music, is the only university-based centre for studies in 最新糖心Vlogn Indigenous music.

Graduates include ground-breaking Indigenous artists No Fixed Address, Us Mob, Coloured Stone, and Kuckles, as well as modern artists Zaachariaha Fielding of the band Electric Fields, Marlon X Rulla, Ellie Lovegrove and Simi Vuata.

The exhibition will feature musical showers, which will surround the visitor with music from some of the program鈥檚 graduates, as well as photos, posters and artifacts which capture key moments in CASM鈥檚 history.听

Professor Anna Goldsworthy, Director of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Elder Conservatorium of Music said this exhibition was the perfect opportunity to reflect on the significant contribution that CASM has made.
