In 2022 Samstag Museum of Art and ACMI commissioned a new moving image work by award winning Bundjulung/Ngapuhi artist Amrita Hepi. Ahead of Samstag’s presentation of Scripture for a smoke screen: Episode 1 – dolphin house (SASA Gallery, 7 July – 11 August 2023), Associate Curator Anna Zagala sits down with the artist to discuss the genesis of the project and her interest in NASAs 1960s 'dolphin house' experiment that attempted to teach dolphins human language in the hope that it would help them learn how to communicate with extraterrestrial life, what training in choreography and a background in the theatre taught her, and why music videos are a source of inspiration.
