Uma Dingemans is a musician and anthropologist based between Naarm/Melbourne and Djaara Country/Chewton, Victoria. Her off-grid upbringing in the Chewton bushlands where daily life depended on solar power, rainwater and close attention to more-than-human inhabitants , shaped her sensitivity to the sensorial dimensions of place. This lived experience continues to inform her exploration of sound as a way to understand and pay attention to social and ecological relationships.

Uma will be mentored by sound artist and composer Monica Lim along with the broader Chamber Made team from February to April 2026.
