Lucinda Dayhew

Lucinda Dayhew is a transdisciplinary artist and experimental storyteller whose work spans performance, installation, and rhythmic sonic objects. Starting with toy instruments and sculptural narratives drawn from everyday materials and field recordings, her practice has evolved into internationally exhibited works that merge ecological awareness, sensory play, and social critique. At the Dinacon 2022 workshop — and later through the Dham Dham Riddim bootcamp in Batticaloa — Lucinda crafted soundscapes using ocean plastic samples and community-sourced recordings, sourcing open‑source tools and upcycling to create participatory sonic instruments. Her installations and live performances interrogate ecological anxiety, human and non-human rhythms, migration flows, labour patterns, and language. They manifest as pulsing, shape-shifting narratives through sculpture, sound works, films, texts, and percussion-based collaborations. Based between Berlin and Sri Lanka, Lucinda combines a passion for collaboration with experimental materials—forming projects that are tactile, theatrical, poetic, and rooted in conversations about global ecology and daily ethics.
