Hannah Brontë’s art practice draws on the natural environment, and the empowerment of Indigenous, Black and Brown women, and spans photography, textiles and video.
In 2021 artist Hannah Brontë asked participants to write a love letter to their intuition. It was open to all and however the words flowed. These letters were compiled into a text work overlayed with images of natural landscapes. For Brontë, the inherent rhythms of nature are the best place to hear your internal compass. Recorded soundscapes of places where she has felt this guidance loudest play gently in the background. As we unfurl into year three of a global pandemic, climate change, human rights shifts and energetic tides, Brontë believes learning our inner navigation is vital in charting these unknown times.
Hannah BrontëThe ‘Love Letters to your Intuition’ playlist is filled with songs that create an environment of magic and nostalgia. Go there!
Perhaps this playlist needs many costume changes, sequins, linen, tie dye, fluorescent moments, a sunset dance outside with you and a lover. Perhaps this playlist needs Sunday mornings cooking in the kitchen with your bubbas or chosen family?
Maybe this playlist takes you for a cruise around your neighbourhood as you pick flowers for home? Or do you listen to it in the backseat while looking out the window dreaming of all the magic in the world.
Do you play this loud and blaring while you dance nude in the bathroom before a long soak in the water.
Perhaps it hums along in the background to lift you out of rain clouds in your mind giving you a little sun ray. Or maybe you sneak it on at work to shift the energy and remind the office that they are all souls having a human experience and deeply need a boogie!
The playlist hopes to be a disco ball for you, reflecting beams of light from you back out to the world.
