What this episode covers

Aronui Indigenous Arts Festival Artistic Director Cian Elyse White says this year's fleet of 550 is the largest they've ever flown. The show runs from 9 to 11 July, starting at 8pm each night over the lake, accompanied by a soundscape composed to resonate physically through the crowd before they even see the drones. Last year 36,000 people attended across the three nights. She joins Culture 101 to explain how you go from script to sky, and why the show aims to make you feel it before you hear it.
