Join Katy Payne and Annie Lewandowski for a reflection on their individual work and recent collaboration to produce a four-day event entitled “The Whale Listening Project.”
Fifty years ago, pioneering bioacoustics researchers Roger Payne, Ph.D. ’61, and Katy Payne ’59 produced “Songs of the Humpback Whale.” The best-selling album introduced the sophisticated, highly structured songs of whales to the world and helped launch a global moratorium on commercial whaling.
Inspired by the album and her own research, artist Annie Lewandowski recently developed the installation performance “Siren – Listening to Another Species on Earth,” which was displayed at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art in September 2021 during “The Whale Listening Project.”
In this webcast, Ms. Payne and Ms. Lewandowski will share their insights on audience response to the four-day event and discuss future plans.
