Witness the enchanting marine world through a blend of music, dance, and oceanic imagery and dive into ocean conservation with inspiring keynotes
Create by an award-winning immersive media director/producer, composer and Ocean activist Joshua Sam Miller, Sounds of the Ocean blends breathtaking recordings of whales and dolphins to create an immersive meditative journey 'beneath the sea.'
The screening of Sounds of the Ocean will be presented with a live score by WHAIA.
WHAIA is a Sonic Weaver, vocalist, and Indigenous Maori artist whose work bridges ancestral wisdom with contemporary performance. Drawing on her Polynesian heritage and deep connection to the ocean, she creates powerful live sonic experiences using voice, TAONGA PŪORO, and crystal singing bowls. In this solo presentation of Sounds of the Ocean, she offers a live vocal score to film, embodying the voices of whales, dolphins, and the living sea.
Her practice extends beyond performance into global advocacy. WHAIA has worked alongside A Wisdom Keeper Delegation within United Nations and COP climate forums, contributing Indigenous perspectives to international policy conversations.
This extraordinary film concert will be introduced by a panel on marine conservation, with Belinda Baggs (Surfers for Climate), Tim Silverwood (Take 3), and WHAIA.
"Sounds of the Ocean deeply connects guests with the elements of water and the ocean, which is so important as people protect what they love ” - Lea d’Auriol, Founder Oceanic Global
