from There's no place like ...
Guitars are now the world’s most popular musical instrument and an aficionado can tell you precisely when and where their favourite instrument was made, the wood that it’s made from, and how that wood affects the sound of the instrument. So what happens when two human geographers decide to follow that fascination around the globe and trace guitars all the way back to the tree? In this Entanglements lecture series recorded live at the Wollongong Art Gallery, Professor Chris Gibson and Dr Andrew Warren from ACCESS at UOW talk about their 6 year research quest to follow the instrument from the forests, timber mills, to the factories where guitars are made and how they discovered a story of highly skilled guitar makers set against a backdrop of natural resource exploitation and conservation.
