Here are a selection of my exhibitions:

Fathoming Fungal Frequencies - An interactive sound experience by Maya Chowdhry. Part of MA Show 2023, School of Digital Arts (SODA) Manchester Metropolitan University Fathoming Fungal Frequencies seeks to uncover the existence of a shared language between human and fungi; giving a voice and making visible the mycelium network from which it fruits. By utilising interactive biodata sonification, which requires this inter-being collaboration, the piece hopes to connect human to more-than-human. →

Waves - For this interactive sound Installation I wanted to make visible the transformation of Salfords waterways, particularly in relation to climate change. I took as a starting point the paintings hung in the Victorian Gallery at the museum that featured these waterways, and then made a series of field recordings, and imagined soundscapes, in the specific locations, for example Blackfrairs Bridge. →

Leftover garden - Part of 3 days without water, a Life Friendly Collective Residency. What if the world was 100% water, how would we grow food? What would we eat? How would we survive?
