Amplify: Story, Resistance, Radio

Part live ‘Pirate Radio’ performance and part sound exhibition about the importance of amplification and listening in urban politics.

Exhibition dates: October 5 - November 18 2023

Opening night: Thursday 5 October 6-8pm

Amplify: Story, Resistance, Radio is part live ‘Pirate Radio’ performance and part sound exhibition about the importance of amplification and listening in urban politics. Amplify is a living, breathing example of how stories occupy urban space and generate solidarity. It responds to long-standing calls-to-action from First Nations leaders to end policy violence and Black deaths in custody, and to fight for land and climate justice.

This exhibition invites people to share stories about sound and activism in the city through live radio broadcasts from the gallery and visual conversations covering key moments of amplification. Show up. Listen up. Get involved.


Tin Sheds Gallery acknowledges the Gadigal of the Eora Nation, upon whose ancestral lands our exhibitions take place. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge of these lands, waterways and Country.
