In late October, Patty and I travelled to Yogyakarta for the Dialog Lensa artist residency at PSBK — a special partnership between PSBK and NorthSite Contemporary Arts, born out of participation in the Regional//Regional program through Asialink Arts. We arrived knowing this would be a big step for us, but we didn’t realise how transformative it would be. The residency stretched us, surprised us, and opened doors into new ways of composing that feel different from our previous work.
Over two months online, we met regularly with Curator Kurniadi Widodo (Yogyakarta); artist Vickram Sombu from Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia; and Doni, Jeanie and Gita from PSBK, along with Ashleigh from NorthSite. These conversations centred around the photographs Vickram had taken in Lamelara — a small village shaped by deep traditions and a powerful relationship with the ocean. Vickram spoke about being welcomed into the community during a period of mourning for his recently departed mother, and how the village held him in a way that felt both grounding and generous.
The land in Lamelara is volcanic and cannot grow crops; the ocean is their garden, their sustenance, their teacher. Before going out to sea, they ask the land for permission — and if the answer is no, they don’t go.
I kept imagining what it would mean to live like that: standing at the edge of a supermarket and asking if you’re allowed to enter — and listening if the answer is no. This practice of seeking permission stayed with me during the residency.
When we first learned about the photographs and the cultural depth behind them, we hesitated. It felt so specific, so important — and we wondered if we were the right people to respond. But Doni and Jeanie reminded us that Dialog Lensa is, at its heart, a dialogue. Between images and sound. Between artists. Between cultures. The work lives in the relationships between these perspectives, in the gentle friction and the unexpected alignments.
Throughout our online phase, Patty and I improvised and composed music in response to the images. We experimented with texture and pacing, letting the photographs lead us. We learned that sperm whales communicate through rhythms and clicks, and that young whales take years to learn their ancestral songs. When we played whale recordings for Vickram, he immediately said they reminded him of the tale leo — the hand-twisted rope used on the village boats. The rope carries the presence of ancestors; the sound echoed that connection. These moments of resonance shaped how the music formed — slow currents, shifting textures, vocal lines that slipped in lightly as if arriving from somewhere else.
When we finally arrived in Yogyakarta for the two-week intensive, everything deepened. Being at PSBK together allowed us to step into the physical world of the project. We chose our space, imagined how the work might live inside it, and returned again and again to the intimacy in Vickram’s photographs. There is a closeness in the images — as if the camera disappears and you are simply sitting with the villagers: beside the ocean, in the boats, in the market, under the shade of trees. We wanted the audience to feel that, too.
We scaled the images to near life-size and began imagining a geography of screens — five in total — placing ocean images to one side and mountains to the other. Once we started building, there was no turning back.
The install was big: rigging and matching projectors, building screens, turning the open room into a black box. Time was tight and technology misbehaved in all the classic ways. There were moments when the whole team felt at breaking point, but someone would inevitably call out, “Oh, Technologica!” (a running joke from Vickram), and we’d fall into laughter and keep going.
Technically, this residency pushed us to work with and experiment with some new elements we had been moving toward. Patty mixed the sound in a six-speaker immersive space. I completed my first five-screen multi-channel projection.
The subject matter of the work pushed us to really dig deep into our vegan politics and posthuman explorations. While it was personally challenging for me to see the ocean animals being killed for food, I also saw how, for the Lamelerans, there is no difference between themselves and the whales. Sometimes the whale dies; sometimes some of their fisherpeople die. It is all connected. It is a deep and long relationship that stretches back as far as their people do.
Our soft opening, “The Grand Rehearsal,” was nerve-wracking. The first two shows had their cracks — even if only the artists noticed — so after each one we tweaked and refined, chasing alignment between sound, image, timing and intention. And then, on the final performance, everything clicked. The images aligned exactly as we intended. Patty pushed the sound up and the whole piece seemed to breathe and sing. It was electric. We all felt it — that rare, euphoric exhale that comes after pushing yourself to the edge of what you think you can do.
A residency invites this kind of transformation. It pulls you out of your familiar world and opens up space to risk, reinvent, try again. It reminds you that vulnerability is part of the work.
For me, Dialog Lensa was a reminder of why we make art at all: for connection, for dialogue, for the chance to sit with others — even across vast distances — and ask, together, for permission to enter the ocean.

About Dialog Lensa
Performing captivating visual narratives through lens-based technology.
Dialog Lensa is a performance platform that showcases photography-based works through multimedia projections.
Since its inception in 2020, this expressive space has brought together photographers and other creators, including musicians, choreographers, and video editors, fostering a cross-disciplinary creative process facilitated by PSBK.
This platform aims to connect visually driven and technology-based works with a diverse audience interested in both visual and performing arts.
Dialog Lensa Creative Exchange: Ashleigh Campbell’s Visit to Yogyakarta, March 2025
In March 2025, Ashleigh Campbell, CEO of NorthSite Contemporary Arts, embarked on a research and relationship-building journey to Padepokan Seni Bagong Kussudiarja (PSBK) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, marking the first chapter in a new International Creative Exchange.
This cross-cultural initiative, supported through Artslink’s Regional // Regional program (which Ashleigh Campbell (AUS) and Doni Maulistya and Jeannie Park of PSBK, Indonesia have been part of since 2021) laid the foundations for a potential multi-year collaborative project between NorthSite and PSBK, aimed at creating lasting artistic dialogues between Australia and Indonesia.
PSBK is a renowned arts centre located in Yogyakarta. Established in 1978 by the esteemed Indonesian dancer Bagong Kussudiardja, PSBK serves as a vibrant hub for artistic expression and cultural preservation. The centre is dedicated to supporting the continuity of Indonesian cultural heritage through active artistic practices, fostering a dynamic environment where artists and the community engage in collaborative learning and creative exploration.
Like NorthSite, PSBK offers a diverse array of programs, including workshops, performances, and exhibitions, that encompass various art forms such as dance, theater, music, and visual arts. The centre’s commitment to nurturing artistic talent and promoting cultural dialogue has made it a significant institution in the Indonesian arts landscape. In 2024, PSBK unveiled a revitalised, architecturally -designed campus. Its incredible facilities, located in the tranquil village of Kembaran, Bantul, are nestled alongside a bamboo-fringed river and sugar cane fields, with its dance pavilions and architecturally-designed collection of specialist-arts buildings including dancehalls, theatre spaces and recording studios opening out to the surrounding village.
Building Relationships and Strengthening Collaborations
The visit began with a warm team-wide welcome at PSBK. The day kicked off with a Selametan (a traditional welcome ceremony) with local foods, followed by a comprehensive tour of the PSBK facilities. Ashleigh’s interactions and pre-planning with PSBK team members Jeannie Park (Executive Director), Doni Maulistya (Vice-Chair) , Rheisnayu Cyntara (Research & Development Div. Manager) had set the stage for an intensive week-long exploration of introductions across town and time to explore shared artistic values, goals and potential project in person. These hybrid discussions both online and in-person, focused on how best to connect the communities of Cairns, Australia, and Yogyakarta, Indonesia through art.
A key highlight of the first day was a deep dive into the Dialog Lensa program which Doni has directed through PSBK since 2020, and will now be expanded to serve as the cornerstone of future creative exchange between Australian and Indonesian artists.
Ashleigh and the PSBK team explored past production structures, the role of photography in storytelling, local connections, global issues, and creative practice. The exchange platform the teams are building will focus on providing opportunities for artists from Cairns and Yogyakarta to experiment and express through new media, bridging gaps between traditional photography and innovative multimedia projections. This phase of the exchange emphasised the collaborative nature of the program, looking at the intersection of artists working across disciplines.
Visiting Yogyakarta’s Creative Hubs
Throughout the visit, Ashleigh had the opportunity to explore Yogyakarta’s rich artistic ecosystem. Across the week she toured to Kelas Pagi photographic collective and institution meeting Gevi Noviyanti, Sokong!, independent photobook publishers run by Prasetya Yudha & Kurnia Yaumil and their new photography book store, and Ruang Mes 56, a longstanding creative space and gallery dedicated to photography and visual culture plus Ethnictro Music-Education Foundation and Krack! printmaking collective. These visits allowed her to engage with local photographers, musicians, thinkers and creatives, whose work has been influential in shaping the arts scene in Yogyakarta. Meeting with photographers and other previous Dialog Lensa collaborators provided invaluable insights into past production values and approaches as well as insight into the diverse ways in which photography intersects with global issues, and how these ideas are manifested in local art practices.
The second day of the visit included a presentation on the Dialog Lensa program’s international potential, featuring the works of Ulet Ifansasti, a renowned photographer, and Jennar Kidjing, a musician. These conversations revealed the personal outcomes of participation in previous Dialog Lensa projects and the outcomes of the cross-disciplinary collaboration, as both artists discussed their creative processes and the impact of the activity on their practice.
Designing the Future of the Exchange
As the visit progressed, discussions turned to the future of Dialog Lensa. On March 13, Ashleigh participated in a strategic session focused on the design of the Dialog Lensa International Edition, which aims to further expand the program’s reach and impact. The session, which involved Doni, Jeannie, and Tara from PSBK, delved into the opportunities and challenges of scaling the program internationally. They brainstormed ideas for future editions, focusing on the importance of sustainable collaboration and the ways in which photography and multimedia can be used to provoke thought and spark meaningful dialogue.
The NorthSite Public Presentation marked a significant milestone in the exchange, with over 50 local creatives turning out to hear about NorthSite and potential links between the localities. Ashleigh shared NorthSite’s vision and history, engaging in rich discussion with the cohort of local artists in a discussion about future collaborative projects. This presentation highlighted the core values of the exchange: creative exploration, networking, and the provocation of thought through art.
Acknowledging Support
The success of this exchange was made possible through the generous support of Asialink Arts, The Yulgibar Foundation, Circle 5 Foundation, and Konfir Kabo and Monica Lim. Their contributions have been integral in ensuring the continued growth and sustainability of this cross-cultural collaboration, and their support enables artists to continue engaging in meaningful dialogue across borders.
Looking Ahead
Ashleigh’s visit to PSBK in Yogyakarta was just the first step in what promises to be a lasting and impactful partnership. Doni will travel to Cairns in a fortnight to participate in a similar program with introductions to local creatives and to solidify plans for future collaborative projects, including Dialog Lensa #6. The momentum and relationship-strengthening generated during this visit ensures that there is a solid foundation, aligned values and commitment to together produce the first international iteration of Dialog Lensa – a collaborative and responsive platform for artistic exploration, and strengthening connections between artists and audiences in both Australia and Indonesia.

IWD | Pressing Topics
This International Women’s Day (IWD) we are celebrating the incredible powerhouse duo, The Ironing Maidens.
The Ironing Maidens, led by Cairns-based Artists Melania Jack and Patty Preece, is an experimental art duo turning domestic objects into electronic instruments to explore themes of gender, domestic labour and technology. In 2022, The Ironing Maidens presented their exhibition ‘Pressing Topics‘ in the NorthSite galleries at Bulmba-ja.
This multi-media installation of projection, sculpture, digital collage, video and sound was a low fi wonderland that smashed pink, Pop and the industrial into a new and playful aesthetic. The work disrupts the ideal proposition of the perfect housewife or the perfect domestic worker and aims to elevate and confront historical and ongoing contemporary issues of discrimination in the domestic labour force.
More recently, The Ironing Maidens have delivered the immersive and interactive performance experience ‘Hot & Heavy’: A speculative fabulation. A non-binary, de-capitalised, de-colonised, de-extinction future imagining.
Where to after NorthSite
Since presenting their exhibition ‘Pressing Topics‘ at NorthSite, The Ironing Maidens work has been presented at IWD Canada – Victoria Society of the Arts in 2023. Later this year they will be exhibiting at ISEA (International Symposium of Electronic Art) in Meanjin / Brisbane.

NGURRUWARRA/ DERNDERNYIN: Stone Fish Traps Of The Wellesley Islands
The exhibition catalogue from ‘NGURRUWARRA/ DERNDERNYIN: Stone Fish Traps Of The Wellesley Islands’ is available to download from the link below.
FOREWORD
WORDS: SEAN ULM, JOHN ARMSTRONG AND BERELINE LOOGATHA
Fish traps are central to Kaiadilt, Lardil, Yangkaal and Gangalidda culture, story and very identity.
Fish traps are a key element of material culture shared across the Wellesley Islands region.
This mammoth Ngurruwarra/Derndernyin canvas is a celebration of culture, story and relationship across the seas, lands and skies of the Traditional Owner communities throughout the Wellesley Islands region.
The artwork is a collaboration between ten Kaiadilt, Lardil and Gangalidda artists working together across a massive 20-metre-long by 2-metre-wide canvas. Each artist painted multiple sections of the canvas, with artists negotiating with each other to ensure continuity of story across contiguous elements of the canvas.
Between them, the artists are custodians of intimate knowledge of Country. The most senior Kaiadilt artists of the work, for example, were amongst the last coastal Aboriginal people to be institutionalised in Australia, being forcibly removed from Bentinck Island to a European Mission on Mornington Island in 1948.
One of the first things the Kaiadilt community did when they arrived on Mornington Island was to build their own fish trap near their camp, which is still visible in the intertidal zone in front of the
Kuba Natha Hostel.
This artwork was commissioned by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CABAH) to celebrate the relationships between Traditional Owners and researchers working on Country.
The artists dedicate this artwork to the late brilliant Dibirdibi Elsie Gabori, who passed away after the work was completed. She is sorely missed.

Mixed Grill event recap
Earlier this year, NorthSite hosted the one-night micro-festival event, Mixed Grill, produced by The 5Five collective.
Mixed Grill closed the collectives exhibition in Gallery 2, ’other’, and was a live performance-based extension of the thematic framework of this exhibition.
‘other’ curator and Mixed Grill creative producer Nicholas Mills, worked with the The 5Five collective and the NorthSite team, to produce a diverse ‘ensemble’ night of experimental performance, new music and sound art, queer cabaret and visual media, critical yarns and DJ culture.
The exhibiting ‘other artists’, Roderick Newbury, Tegan Koster, Doula, Fletcher Glover, and John De Satge, were joined on the night by performance artists Rebecca Youdell, Jay Wymarra, Paul Barron, Rob Eakin, Derryn Knuckey and File_Error, and Calling to Country by Djabugay cultural leader Dennis Hunter.
Mixed Grill is a moving feast: activated performance spaces were enabled throughout the venue at Bulmba-ja. Punters were initially greeted at the front door and encouraged to have their picture taken in the ‘other’ booth, thus becoming part of the work ‘other is you’. DJ Whichway met the audience in the foyer with a fine selection of groove, alongside the ‘other’ exhibition and delicious food by The Toasted Goat and drinks from the Hungry Pitcher.

The audience were then led into Gallery 1, and greeted with a bare, talk-panel format, Space.
Dennis Hunter Acknowledged Country before members of The 5Five collective engaged in the yarning panel, ‘In Other Words’, moderated by John De Satge, and exploring individual and universal perceptions, and experiences, of ‘other’.

Following the panel discussion, interdisciplinary practitioner Rebecca Youdell and media artist File_Error performed a delicate sound, screen and movement performance in response to the exhibition.

The audience were then directed to move to Studio B, where Dennis Hunter then guided them through ‘Calling to Country’ and true history, before John De Stage’s game-show style ‘MAJORITIES live’, welcomed three attendees to test their knowledge against the expert ‘flag-guy’ in a showdown of interactive Flag Game performance.

The Mixed Grill program juxtaposes work and space that compliment and contrast: the audience were then led to the rear carpark of Bulmba-ja, for the outdoor performance/ installation piece ‘Exercise In Futility’.
Produced by Nicholas Mills, and performed by the 5Five artists, with sound by Fletcher Glover and BLK+SBBTH, this ‘roving parade’ utilised discarded gym equipment and the rolling shell of an XP Ford Falcon, to illustrate a compelling visual and conceptual image.

It was then back into Studio B for a cabaret-styled double header: Jay Wymarra presented excerpts from his new show ‘AmaJayus’, which will premiere at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Tegan Koster then set the stage for a massive retro-synth exploration, presenting a quirky and upbeat live electro/screen showing of her new art-pop sound works, as part of her ongoing project ‘Shapes’.

After a short break, the night moved into its final gear, with cult improvisation art/noise band ‘dero’, led by File_Error, and the funk/groove contrast of DJ Mr Tarago, cutting their own aural space, for a final sound and dance floor spin.
