Altered Tides: Storytellers and Sculptures ( Live Event)
Walk the audio trail anytime during SWELL…
Listen to compelling local stories on an Audio Trail exploring our living shoreline as part of the SWELL Sculpture Festival 2025. Simply bring your phone and headphones to explore the Audio Trail with our map — available online via the link below and at SWELL Central Info Hub.
At each listening point you’ll hear local stories about what the Gold Coast’s gorgeous beaches and estuaries mean to you and your neighbours, their importance in everyday life, and what this can look like into the future. Our storytellers include long-time locals and beach goers, Traditional Custodian Justine Dillon, and SWELL Sculpture Festival director Natasha Edwards.
The audio trail is open every day during SWELL Sculpture Festival 2025 — you don’t need to register, just come along to walk and listen!
*Additional headsets available to loan from SWELL Central Info Hub.

More about Altered Tides
Altered Tides events are a partnership between Griffith University, Gecko Environment Council and SWELL Sculpture Festival, supported by Griffith’s Climate Action Beacon, that brings together Indigenous knowledge, climate and coastal sciences, beach cultures and the arts to support people and their communities in responding to the key theme of climate changes and our coastal way of life.
