AM Kanngieser approaches the relations between people, place, and ecologies in their work, bringing together oral testimony, poetry, and voice with hyper-detailed soundscapes and field recordings to create immersive installations and radio art pieces. An award-winning geographer and sound artist, they are the author of 2013’s Experimental Politics and the Making of Worlds and the forthcoming Between Sound and the Forthcoming Silence: Listening towards Environmental Relations. As well as being a Marie Curie Research Fellow in Geography at Royal Holloway University of London, Kanngieser also co-founded the Institute for Freshwater Fish Futures, working extensively in collaboration with Pacific storytellers, artists, advocates and grassroots organisers.

Their audio work has been commissioned by Documenta 14 Radio, BBC 3, ABC Radio National, The Natural History Museum London, and Deutschland Radio, amongst others. Their radio art piece “And Then The Sea Came Back” was Jury nominated for the 2017 Prix Ars Electronica, and they have been featured in international arts and music publications including The Wire: Adventures in Sound and Music, Quietus, Transmediale, Outline and Art Quarterly magazines.
