Etza Meisyara is one of a new generation of contemporary Indonesian artists whose practice encompasses sound, installation and experimental drawings on metal. Working across music and visual art, she uses processes of oxidisation and sound to transform energy into different forms.

Join Etza for a workshop creating atmospheric images on brass using experimental sea water chemistry. The workshop will be held on the picturesque grounds of MAGNT using saltwater collected at Bundilla Beach.
