Podcasts about Cosmo Sheldrake

This week, poet and nature writer Robert Macfarlane joins Prospect's Ellen Halliday and Imaan Irfan to explore the ideas in his new book Is a River Alive? They each share what ‘their rivers are' and the waterbodies they feel most connected to.Robert discusses his travels to Ecuador, India and the Canadian wilderness: places that rivers are being defended from threat, and where our relationship with the natural world is being reimagined. He talks about writing a song with a cloud forest (and the legal battle to have it recognised as a co-writer) and the power of storytelling. He discusses challenges, policy and progress in the UK: is there hope for our rivers? And how do we save them?Plus, stay until the end to listen to “The Song of the Cedars” by Robert Macfarlane, Cosmo Sheldrake, Giuliana Furci and César Rodríguez-Garavito, in collaboration with the Los Cedros Cloud Forest.Robert's book ‘Is a River Alive' (2025) is published by Penguin Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On a field trip to Los Cedros cloud forest in Ecuador in 2022, mycologist Giuliana Furci, author Robert Macfarlane, legal scholar and More Than Human (MOTH) Life Collective founder César Rodríguez-Garavito, and musician Cosmo Sheldrake wrote and recorded “Song of the Cedars”—a composition made not just in the forest, but in conscious collaboration with it. Rich with field recordings of the ecosystem and the track's entwined human and more-than-human melodies, this conversation between the foursome explores their ongoing effort to gain legal recognition of Los Cedros as co-creator of the song, which if successful, will be a world first.  Read the transcript.

Crossing the River is a podcast in which we hear from Indigenous leaders who defend life on Earth every day, in their own words, because they are the protagonists of their own stories. To make the collective decisions which will define our present and our future, and to re-examine the stories we tell about our past, we must listen to their voices. This podcast amplifies Indigenous peoples' voices; it does not explain or interrupt them. Here, you will hear directly from Indigenous leaders, because deep listening requires paying close attention to the way they pause and breathe and to the weight they carry in their voices.We invite you to cross the river, to connect and meet with Indigenous leaders and their peoples. With this exercise in attentive listening and practice, we plant this collective seed for the future with them.Welcome to the second season of Crossing the River.Crossing the River is a podcast from the More Than Human Life Program (MOTH), based at the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at NYU School of Law and 070 Podcasts.The team behind the podcast is Carlos Andrés Baquero Díaz from MOTH, Natalia Arenas, Goldy Levy, and Andrés Villegas. The original art is by Nefazta and the music is by Cosmo Sheldrake. 

Hear a musician reflect on how birds affect life and music. This episode is about the deep connection between nature and music, and how birds provide us with a sense of place.If anyone can silence a room, it's South Africa-born and Melbourne-based musician Ruby Gill. Ruby's arresting lyricism and deadpan wit have already garnered them millions of streams, awards and radio play from Triple J and every major metro station in Australia, to BBC6Music and KCRW over the pond. Known to bring even the most stoic to tears with profound reflections on society and self-awareness, Ruby's “melancholic lyrical wizardry” has earned the reputation of unmissable, with accolades such as as Sunday Times' Breaking Act (UK), Emerging Artist of the Year at Port Fairy Folk Festival, nominations for The Australian Music Prize (Mercury equivalent) and Best Folk Work at the Music Victoria Awards, and high praise from NME, CLASH, The Independent and more. Consistent reviews echo Triple J's Zan Rowe, “excuse me while I scrape myself off the floor.” Available on YouTube, your podcast app or listen below.Links:Ruby's new album Some Kind of Control is out March 28 2025.* Ruby's website - https://rubygill.me/* Ruby on Facebook - @rubygillmusic* Ruby on Instagram - @rubymarygill* Ruby on Twitter/X - @rubymarygill* Ruby on YouTube - youtube.com/user/rubymarygill* Bird Song by Cosmo Sheldrake - cosmosheldrake.com/music/birdsong* Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine - youtube.com/watch?v=RGVmhrfQqzg* Blue Jay recording by Dan Lane (XC215532) - xeno-canto.org* African Paradise Flycatcher recording by Tony Archer (XC603822) - xeno-canto.org* Hadada Ibis recording by Tony Archer (XC686712) - xeno-canto.orgWeekend Birder online:* Website - weekendbirder.com* Instagram - @weekend.birder* Facebook - @weekend.birder* YouTube - @WeekendBirder Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textIn this episode, we step into the world of ethnomusicology with Angela Impey. Angela is a researcher, author, and senior lecturer at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, where she explores the links between music, culture, and social change. Angela shares her experiences during apartheid in South Africa, where music became a powerful form of political expression, along with stories from several ethnomusicology projects across the African continent. She explains how performance-based knowledge systems are important in addressing global challenges like the climate crisis, and what constitutes “proper knowledge”.  We discuss how we can bridge between mainstream paradigms and other, but no less valid, frameworks of understanding our surroundings.Songs around the world hold histories, clues, concepts, connections, and characters that have been not listened to, not heard, by so many. You surely won't listen to your surroundings the same way after hearing from Angela. I hope you enjoy this invitation into the world of ethnomusicology with Professor Angela Impey.Mentioned in the article episode:- Merlyn Driver and his curlew project - Musician Jeremy Dutcher- Angela's book Song Walking: Women, Music, and Environmental Justice in an African Borderland- Scholar Donna Haraway - Acacia karroo tree- Chinspot batis bird Connect:- Angela Impey's work- Rebeka Instagram- The Heart Gallery InstagramCredits:Jonathan Raz for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer.

In Here's Thinking, Jayda and her producer Mia discuss this week's episode!

In this episode, Jayda and Cosmo talk about how they interweave their music with their love and fascination with nature. Cosmo also shares his role in campaigning for the publishing rights of nature, for nature to earn from the music it is featured in. We hear Jayda and Cosmo discuss why giving nature legal rights like this is essential in preserving and protecting the living world. Cosmo also shares his thoughts around artists donating parts of their profits and why looking to fungi, appreciating how interconnected we all are, plants and humans, is what gives him a sense of hope. Follow Cosmo SheldrakeFollow Jayda GFollow Here's Hoping PodcastMore on our guestCosmo Sheldrake WebsiteCosmo is a UK-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, live improviser, and field recordist. His music ranges widely from celebratory anthems to soulful elegies to riotous party numbers, to sparse electronic production, to haunting polyphonic songs that have grown out of field recordings of birds, whales, fish, frogs, and fungi, and more. Running through all his work is a belief that the living world is a noisy and musical place with the power to change how we think, feel, and imagine. Together with his human and non-human collaborators, Cosmo creates music that speaks to the urgency and possibility of our times. Cosmo has toured internationally with sold-out headline shows across North America, Europe, and Japan. He has composed music for both film and theatre and, in 2015, ran a community choir in Brighton, UK. Cosmo's song Come Along was featured in a high-profile global Apple commercial, resulting in the track charting at number 39 on the US Digital Songs chart. In 2020, his song Birthday Suit became a top trend on TikTok and currently has over 60 million streams on platforms with over 1 million video uploads using the track. In 2020, he released Wake Up Calls on his label Tardigrade Records, featuring tracks composed entirely from recordings of endangered British birds. In 2023, Cosmo released Wild Wet World, an EP that is an homage to the ocean. His new album, Eye to the Earwill be released in April 2024. See his Linktree for shows, merch, and more.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode launching on Juneteenth, come on a trip down the road from Selma, Alabama - home of the 1960s Selma Voting Rights Movement and the Selma to Montgomery marches - to the tiny little enclave of Gee's Bend, situated in a bend of the Alabama river. This is the home of the famous Gees Bend quilters.The community of Gee's Bend, Alabama, traces its roots back to the enslaved individuals who toiled on Joseph Gee's cotton plantation established in 1816. After the Civil War, ancestors continued to live and work on the plantation as sharecroppers. The economic downturn of the 1930s, marked by plummeting cotton prices, threatened the community's survival. In response, the Federal Government intervened during the Depression, purchasing ten thousand acres of the former plantation. They offered loans to the residents, enabling them to own and cultivate the land their forebears once worked unpaid. The people of Gee's Bend managed to keep their land and homes, preserving and cultivating cultural practices… Such as quilt-making.In the 1960s, inspired by a visit from Martin Luther King Jr., the Gees Bend community became active in the Civil Rights Movement, traveling by ferry to Camden to register to vote. In retaliation, authorities discontinued the ferry service, isolating Gee's Bend from essential services. During this challenging time, local women established the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative that provided vital economic opportunities and political empowerment.Despite this past filled with hardship, the quilting tradition of Gee's Bend, which began in the 19th century, has survived and flourished. The New York Times has praised Gee's Bend quilts as “some of the most miraculous works of modern art America has produced.” These quilts represent a significant chapter in American art history and are now part of the permanent collections of over 30 major art museums.Set against this historical backdrop is the conversation I had with Loretta Pettway Bennett. Loretta is a celebrated member of the Gee's Bend quilters, a group of (mostly) women whose incredible works not only bring their beauty to museum walls but have also weave important stories of Black American history, culture, and vision. Listen to hear about Loretta's stories and experiences growing up in this incredible arts community.Connect:- About Loretta Pettway Bennett- Gee's Bend Quilters Instagram- Rebeka instagram- The Heart Gallery Instagram- Episode blog post - coming shortly!Credits:- Samuel Cunningham: podcast editing- Cosmo Sheldrake: music from his song Pelicans We.

Send us a Text Message.Did you know that the average person encounters 10,000 commercial images in a day? That neighborhoods where people have lower incomes tend to have more advertisements for unhealthy foods and have more stores selling and advertising commercial tobacco? That the majority of images we see of the African continent are mostly from Western sources? This is some of what I've learned from the new book, The Digital Detox, by Marine Tanguy, who is my guest in this episode.Manufactured visuals surround us everywhere we go, offline and online, and if we aren't vigilant, it is almost impossible not to be overstimulated and manipulated from when we wake to when we sleep. Naomi Klein said in an interview recently something that's stayed with me: “we've become machine food!” That visual of human machine food stuck in my mind while reading the Marine's book. Her book is essentially  a guide on how not to become machine food. And according to Marine, a key to that is art, which helps us activate our critical thinking and our imagination, while also being a medicine for our spirits. Marine is CEO of MTArt Agency, a talent agency for artists. She has held high profile positions in the art world since she was 21, starting as a gallery manager of  the Outsider's Gallery in London, which was the first to showcase the work of Banksy, and she was on a Forbes 30 under 30 Art & Culture list.The thread that runs through The Heart Gallery podcast is that art and stories are what bring us together and move our society forward into a more caring future. So of course I was so excited to talk to Marine. Marine's mission is to bring art out of what we think of traditional art spaces - galleries, theaters, museums, fancy places - and into the heart of society, art representative of everyone and for all. That is a mission we can all get behind. I hope you enjoy listening to Marine Tanguy.Homework from Marine: "Take a couple of minutes to close your eyes and think, "what have I seen today?" Try to understand how what you saw made you feel. This will help you to start to be aware of the impact that images have on you."Mentioned:- The Imagination Muscle by Albert Read- Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman- "The media is the message" - here's a great article about Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, Jenny Odell and others- The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel van der KolkConnect:- Marine instagram- MTArt instagram- Rebeka instagram- The Heart Gallery Instagram- Episode blog postCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola

This week, our hosts each arrive with one specific issue they feel freshly outraged or optimistic about. Tom talks about how Earth Day 2024 will come to be known as the beginning of the end of the climate crisis. Christiana is outraged (and a tiny bit optimistic) about the plastics pandemic. And Paul gets fired up about investor and corporate transition plans - can he convince his co-hosts to ‘light the blue touch paper' and ignite their own optimism? Music comes from Cosmo Sheldrake with his song, “Soil”. Cosmo is a UK-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, live improviser, and field recordist. As part of the Museum for the United Nations – UN Live's new initiative Sounds Right, Cosmo has shared this new track “Soil (feat. NATURE)”, a homage to the powerful transformative and generative capacities of subterranean ecosystems.  Money raised will go towards conservation projects around the world.   NOTES AND RESOURCES The Babies vs Plastics Report 23 - 29 April 2024 in Canada - The Fourth Session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution More on Earth Day 2024 The IEA's World Energy Outlook 2023 on how it expects CO2 emissions to peak “in the mid-2020s” First Colour Photograph of the Earth from space The danger of the very serious person By Pilita Clark in the Financial Times    PAUL'S BOOK TIPS The Corporation that Changed the World by Nick Robins   MUSICAL GUEST Cosmo Sheldrake Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter (X) | Spotify | YouTube   NATURE Spotify | Apple Music   Check out the feat.

We play a wild, confusing mess of international sounds, stretching from the birth of recorded music to something we heard two days ago. We do our best to ignore the normal, accentuate the weird, and ignore borders, boundaries and time-zone. TONITE on your RADIO! It's the Begilufin NOTHING special Pt2! This evening, your good-for-nothing hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott, deliver you 60 hot minutes of NOTHING! And we do mean NOTHING! With our usual zen-like grace, we present a handpicked hour of International music themed around, NOTHING, NOWHERE and NO-ONE, the show is sure to be overflowing with abundant musical emptiness. NOTHING music is really something you need to hear, so tune in tonight or you'll miss EVERYTHING. On our ‘Island' section tonight we part the curtains of nothing for a few moments to investigate the new album by anatomical musicalist Cosmo Sheldrake, promisingly titled “Eye To The Ear” - sounds to spin your eyeballs and vibrate your earballs. As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine mistakes for your entertainment. 1. The Ugly Ducklings - Nothin' 2. Antoine Reencuentra A Les Problèmes - Je Ne Vois Rien 3. Larry Williams & Johnny Watson with Kaleidoscope - Nobody 4. Mary Jane Hooper - Don't Change Nothing 5. Bob Dorough / Multiplication Rock - My Hero, Zero 6. No Blues - Empty Bottle 7. Karen Turesson - Ingenting 8. Cosmo Sheldrake - Does The Swallow Dream Of Flying? 9. Cosmo Sheldrake - Breathe Round Corners 10. Joyce - Nada Será Como Antes 11. Alon Aboutboul - Empty 12. Ton Steine Scherben - Ich Hab Nix # Begilufin Begilufin is an hour long radio show broadcast live twice a month from the heart Berlin on the station Pi Radio. On Begilufin we play a wild, confusing mess of international sounds, stretching from the birth of recorded music to something we heard two days ago. We do our best to ignore the normal, accentuate the weird, and ignore borders, boundaries and time-zones. Each show revolves around a central theme and then we surprise each other (and you, dear listener) with our selections live on air. Since you ask, ‘Begilufin' is a Hebrew word meaning intoxicated, inebriated, drunk, sozzled or smashed - a perfect description of the delirious off-centre mix of crazed music we like to spin on the show or indeed the effect it might have on your ears. Begilufin was created by Ziv Lode in 2010. Ziv was joined by Dan Abbott a couples of years later after a chance meeting in a kindergarten playground revealed a mutual love of the music of Erkin ‘The Turkish Hendrix' Koray. * https://www.mixcloud.com/begilufin/ * https://www.instagram.com/begilufinradio/

London vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Cosmo Sheldrake creates songs and sound worlds out of people, places, creatures, plants, fungi, and collected sounds. With his combination of traditional instrumentation and electronic production, field recordings, and both human and more-than-human voices (birdsong and insect choruses), Sheldrake pursues adventures in song, capturing the childlike wonder of a curious tea party, and staying connected to the natural world throughout. Cosmo Sheldrake juxtaposes these orchestrated natural sounds with his racks of gear to share his marvelous sound world in some songs from his latest, Eye to the Ear, in-studio. Set list: 1. Stop the Music 2. I Did and I Don't and I Do 3. Does the Swallow Dream of Flying? Eye To The Ear by Cosmo Sheldrake

Send us a Text Message.A recurring theme on the podcast is the climate crisis and the ways in which artists are addressing it in their work, whether they're focused on showing ways forward for society, making the issue more concrete for individuals and specific communities, or inviting people sideways into the issue through art that is focused on elements of celebration, curiosity, care. If you listen to the podcast often, you know the last one is my personal favorite type. Tara DePorte is the guest on the podcast today. She is Executive Director of the Human Impacts Institute, building a global cultural movement around climate action. In addition to leading HHI, Tara is also well versed as an artist in climate policy and science spaces. In that way, she and I have a bit in common in terms of backgrounds and approach, which made for a fun conversation. Tara is so clear-sighted about the challenges of climate communication and climate art, I know  you'll enjoy listening to her as much as I did.Homework from Tara: "Find a group in your community that you're really excited about, that is doing work on climate in some way. And climate does not have to be in their title or the description of their mission. It can be a community garden. It can be something that's helping give girls, children, access to education.  There are many different ways to engage. Connect with them, learn about them, and find a way to be a part of it by coming back to that idea of "give who you are". So have it be something that  you're going to look forward to doing, that you could bring your kids to do as well, like making a community mural.It's easy to feel alone in the world in general these days. In order to come back to a place of empathy and creation and inspiration, we really need to acknowledge how important community is in our lives. And I can speak on behalf of myself; I need to acknowledge how important community is in my life.  I think the same thing goes for climate action. Going out and doing it on our own not only doesn't have as much of an impact, it's easy to get burned out or feel like we're not making enough of a difference. So start that climate community, find that climate community."Mentioned:- The City Tree, by Shira Boss, Lorena Alvarez- The New Humanitarian podcast episode on sci fiConnect:- Human Impacts Institute website- Human Impacts Institute instagram- Tara's Art Portfolio- The Heart Gallery instagram- The Heart Gallery website- Rebeka Ryvola de KremerCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer.

Send us a Text Message.This episode of The Heart Gallery will take you into the history and ongoing realities of Indigenous affairs in Canada. Recent years have shed light on a painful and violent history, as well as present-day systemic challenges. From the harrowing legacy of the residential school system, which remained active until the 1990s, to the continuous struggles over land rights and cultural preservation, these unfolding revelations have sparked crucial national and international dialogues. They compel us to face uncomfortable truths and prompt a critical re-examination of the process of truth and reconciliation.Against this backdrop, I'm privileged to interview Christi Belcourt, an artist whose work is deeply entwined with her Métis community's stories. Christi's art does not merely reflect Métis cultural practices and deep connection to nature; it resonates with the ongoing struggles and triumphs of indigenous people, offering a window into the soul of communities striving for justice.We explore Christi's work while also talking about how the arts can be a conduit for expressing Indigenous voices and can play a valuable role in efforts to reveal systemic challenges.I hope you enjoy this conversation.Homework from Christi: "Do something that is completely selfless - and anonymous - in the aid of someone else."Mentioned:- Keetsahnak: our missing and murdered Indigenous sisters, edited by Christi Belcourt- Medicines to help us: traditional Metis plant us, by Christi Belcourt- Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists exhibit- Bob Marley's War- Haile Selassie's speech Towards African unity, 1963- Classically trained indigenous pianist Jeremy Dutcher- Gregory Schofield, Canadian Métis poet, beadwork artist, dramatist and non-fiction writer. - Odawa-Potawatomi artist Daphne Odjig- And please see the blog post for visual accompanimentConnect:- Christi twitter - Christi instagram - The Heart Gallery Instagram- The Heart Gallery website- Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer InstagramCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer.

Justin's work stands in stark contrast to the conventional climate storytelling landscape that's so often dominated by dire predictions and a sense of impending doom.  In today's conversation, hear about how it matters so dearly to weave life, joy, color, humanity, and history into coverage on the communities most affected by the climate crisis.Homework from Justin: "Just go outside today and enjoy where you are, just slow down a little bit."

Send us a Text Message.In today's escalating humanitarian crises, the term itself is complex, influenced by various factors. The United Nations reports 235 million people needing humanitarian help, nearly double from a decade ago. These crises and the treatment of them, often rooted in colonialism, affect everything from resources to power structures, and, as discussed in the episode with Patrick Gathara, may perpetuate biased narratives by overlooking systemic issues.Against this context, Pascal Hufschmid reimagines the role of the museum. Merging art with humanitarianism, his work as Director of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum transforms the museum into a platform for critical societal discussions. With a background in ballet, art history, and as a United Nations tour guide, and with his commitment to art's transformative power, Pascal brings a unique perspective on these pressing matters.HW from Pascal: Be kind to yourself. That's all I have to say. I think it's so important and so true, every day. There's big research we're conducting right now in the museum with the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences. When visiting our permanent exhibition, there's a big wall with a simple question stated: "are you kind to yourself?". And we invite people to write a message of kindness to themselves and to put it up on the wall. We've received something like 10,000 messages in six months, messages that are being analyzed by two researchers who in their postdoctoral research are studying if self compassion can be taught, and what impact it has on conflicts. They're specifically studying this in the context of the conflict between Israel and Palestine: can self-compassion actually put an end to the dehumanizing process that has a soldier [choose] to kill someone, to wipe out the specificities of this person. Also, how that that dehumanization process actually helps one live with themself after what they've done. And that is hardcore research being carried out right now. And with them, we're working at the museum to invite our visitors to reflect upon self-kindness. You know, "are you okay with yourself?" ,"How can you be kind to yourself?". And these 9,000, 10,000 messages were collectively with the researchers, and it's going to be published next year: a daily self-practice guide to compassion. So yes: be kind to yourself."Mentioned:- 10 Ideas for a Caring Museum- Henri Cartier-Bresson and his Leica- Dino BuzzatiConnect:- Pascal Hufschmid LinkedIn - International Red Cross & Red Crescent Museum Twitter - International Red Cross & Red Crescent Museum Instagram- The Heart Gallery Instagram- The Heart Gallery websiteCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song

Send us a Text Message.For the 12th episode of The Heart Gallery, I am in conversation with Gaelynn Lea.  Gaelynn, a violinist and songwriter who won NPR Music's Tiny Desk Contest in 2016, has a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities in the music industry, especially for disabled artists. She has performed over 600 shows in 45 states and 9 countries, but her path hasn't been without obstacles. And according to Gaelynn, 26% of Americans have some type of disability, yet the music industry is far from being fully accessible or inclusive. Here, Gaelynn talks about accessibility in the music industry, the problem with disability-based "inspiration", and creating transformative art. We also have a surprise for you: three of Gaelynn's songs are featured throughout the conversation. I am sure you will love this episode…HW from Gaelynn:  "I would say, look up those three artists I mentioned (shared below) because they're all really good. If you haven't heard a lot of disabled artists, I think there's maybe a subconscious misconception that you have to be disabled to like their music, but that is not true. They're just so good. So, look them up and then check out rampd.org, because there's around 60 artists right now as a part of RAMPD and it continues to grow. And so if you're ever feeling stuck in a musical rut, go check it out because they cover all genres."Artists mentioned:- Wheelchair Sports Camp-Ruth Lyon- Eliza Hull- Charlie Parr- Recording Artists and Musical Professionals with Disabilities (RAMPD)Connect:- Gaelynn Lea Patreon- Gaelynn Lea website- Gaelynn Lea Spotify- The Heart Gallery Instagram- The Heart Gallery website- Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer InstagramCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer.

Send us a Text Message.This is the second part of my conversation with Patrick Gathara. In this segment, we continue to dissect inclusive storytelling and its critical role in understanding humanity - both that of the world as well as our own.  We cover the genocide in Gaza, inclusive stories from other context, the problems of western media today, and how to go beyond "the single story".HW from Patrick: "The one thing I would ask audiences to do is to read up and to read up especially on history. You find very interesting things when you look even at the most ordinary things, the assumptions that you make. Let me tell you one that happened to me. I'm born in Kenya, brought up in this society where I was taught that there are things called tribes, that we are all divided into these 42 communities. And I've been there for eons - these age-old identities that we've had. But it doesn't take much to actually debunk it. It really just takes a curious manner to ask, "all right, where did that come from?".  You read a bit and you find there's loads of research that's been done into this evolution of identity. You start learning how lots of what we think of as ethnic communities, if you were to go just a hundred years ago,  the people who had that brand, who had that name, who had that identity, might not even recognize that. We've been taught in Kenya today that "tribe" is this totalizing identity. It captures everything, from your politics to how you live, to how you dress. Then you find, for a lot of these guys, it didn't really matter much. It was understood as a very fluid thing, while today we are being told it is kind of encoded in your genes. So understanding how the world has been made, how you have been taught to see it, through history, through your thinking about the world, it can be a really liberating experience. So, I would urge your listeners to engage in that, to think of something that they think is really important to them, that really defines them, and to ask, "why do I think that?" "Where does that come from?".  To go into it and research it. And I think you will find many times that there is much more we have in common than the things that we think define us."Mentioned by Patrick:- WhatsApp, Lebanon? - The Yemen Listening Project - Writer Shailja Patel and her book Migritude- Cartoonist Gado- Cartoonist Paul "Maddo" KelembaConnect:- Patrick's Twitter- The New Humanitarian- The Heart Gallery Instagram- The Heart Gallery website- Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer InstagramCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer.

Send us a Text Message.For the first episode of The Heart Gallery Season 2, I talk to Patrick Gathara, The New Humanitarian's Senior Editor of Inclusive Storytelling.  Patrick talks about what inclusive storytelling look like in a context where the news is changing by the minute, where echo chambers are swirling with recycled talking points, where mainstream media is saturated with dehumanization of whole groups of people, and all while a literal genocide on the people of Gaza is being carried out. We also discuss the state of inclusive journalism and the storytelling elsewhere in the world: what is going well, where we're falling short, and what we should demand more - and less - of from our media.Part 2 will be uploaded on Monday, Nov 13. Episode blog post will be up then as well.Links:- Patrick on Twitter- The New Humanitarian- The Heart Gallery Instagram- The Heart Gallery website- Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer InstagramCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer.

This Saturday – 7 October – is UK Fungus Day. And so for this week's show, we're exploring the fascinating faces of fungi. We're taking a tour of the Fungus Garden at RHS Wisley, journeying back in time with biologist Merlin Sheldrake to investigate our historical uses of these organisms, chatting about 3 easy ways you can grow your own edible mushrooms, and finally, we're returning to Wisley to get an update on the science team's honey fungus research.  The music you hear at the very beginning of the show was created by Cosmo Sheldrake. The sounds you hear -- apart from the accompanying piano -- are from recordings of oyster mushrooms devouring a copy of Merlin Sheldrake's Entangled Life. You can listen to the entire song here.

According to research from Good Energy and The Media Impact Project that analyzed 37, 453 scripted television episodes and films released from 2016 through 2020, less than 3% acknowledge climate change.Alisa works at Good Energy, which supports TV and film creators in telling stories that honestly reflect the world we live in now—a world that's in a climate crisis. They have worked on the recent climate-focused Extrapolations, on Apple TV, and are focused on intersectional elements of climate stories, committed to showing how historically marginalized people are harmed “first and worst”. Alisa talks about how stories help us connect, process, and learn and how we need our stories to reflect the realities of the world and the future we want to move towards.  See accompanying blog post here for annotated climate trailers, Alisa's HW, and the podcast transcript.Mentioned: - Climate poet & artist Cecilia Vicuña - Writer Rebecca Solnit.- Rebecca Solnit's Hope in the Dark-  Rebecca Solnit's, A Paradise Built in Hell-  David Wallace-Wells', Uninhabitable EarthConnect:- Alisa: @minipetro, LinkedIn- The Heart Gallery Instagram- The Heart Gallery website- Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer InstagramCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer, w/ the drive-in photo sourced from Boston Globe archives.

He is John Kazior, an American artist and writer based in Sweden. John's writing also reveals the depths of these dark arts and shares how we can come to see these efforts more clearly. He talks about how we can learn to go deeper below the surface with issues and ideas that matter the most, and how we can come to orient ourselves towards cultures of true care. I believe that John needs to create curriculum for schools everywhere, for people of all ages. Visit The Heart Gallery's visual accompaniment for this podcast episode here (podcast transcript also available here).HW: "One good thing to do is go out and find a nonhuman species, whether it's dead or alive, a plant or fungus or a moss or a fish or a fly. Find something and try to follow it for a little while, whether that means actually physically follow it and/or [tracing its life backwards]. Follow where it came from and try and see what you can find about it. If you really want to go the extra mile, then write or draw something about how you feel about it or the way you relate to it.  And that may be just reiterating like that, oh, I found this in a supermarket. It could be as simple as that.

We put this moth trap out at night, and from early spring right through to autumn it's absolutely remarkable what is under your nose in your own environment, what you can see if you have the means to capture it. It is extraordinary and will give you a bigger appreciation of your position in the environment and in the world. If you can find out about another species that's within your own environment, I kind of feel like that gives you an understanding of your place within it."HW from Lara: "I would like to suggest that everybody reads Amitav Ghosh's book The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable."Connect:-  LaraGoodband- Gemma Lloyd- The Heart Gallery Instagram- The Heart Gallery website- Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer InstagramCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer.

It's a hilarious book. I would recommend reading that book. Each artist gives you an assignment, which go from practical to ridiculous. It's great for anyone who wants to spark their creativity or feels stuck. Again, whether you're an artist or not.

Listen and learn from the magical Morel Doucet.Visit The Heart Gallery's visual accompaniment for this podcast episode here (podcast transcript also available at this link).HW from Morel: “Being an educator in the museum space I like inquiry. How inquiry works is that you make a visual observation of the work in front of you. Instead of coming to an immediate conclusion, you analyze a work based on its various aspects before you form a conclusion about the work. Another way of phrasing it is, “don't judge a book by its cover”. Extend this beyond art too: give people grace, give them an opportunity. By being patient, you may uncover something new."Mentioned: - Didier William- Cornelius Tulloch- Chris Friday- The Saan people mentioned in the question about ceramicsConnect: - Morel Doucet IG- The Heart Gallery Instagram- The Heart Gallery website- Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer InstagramCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer.

Examine where answers are coming from & look beyond the answers which are readily available. For example, there are so many things that we are told as women, like, “this is how you should be, this is how you should behave, this is what you shouldn't do, that's what you should do”. If you start asking questions, like, “why is it important for me to do this", or "what is stopping me to do that”… you can get closer & closer to what feels authentic to you."Mentioned:- Frida Kahlo- Marina Abramović- How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell.- Seeing Like A Feminist by Nivedita MenonConnect: - Vidushi IG- The Heart Gallery Instagram- The Heart Gallery website- Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer InstagramCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 13, 2022 is: crucible • KROO-suh-bul • noun Crucible refers to a place or situation that forces someone or something to change. Most commonly found in formal and literary writing, it can also mean “a difficult test or challenge.” Its original meaning, still in use, is “a pot in which metals or other substances are heated to a very high temperature or melted.” // Her rock-solid songwriting skills were forged in the crucible of the Nashville music scene. // After years of intense daily archery training, she is ready to face the crucible of the Olympics. See the entry > Examples: “Fungi have helped trees adapt on a millennial scale. They could be crucial to helping trees adapt in the climate crisis. ‘In difficult times, organisms find new symbiotic relationships in order to expand their reach,' said Dr. [Cosmo] Sheldrake, the biologist. ‘Crisis is the crucible of new relationships.'” — Somini Sengupta, The New York Times, 27 July 2022 Did you know? Unless you're studying Arthur Miller's The Crucible in school, it may not be crucial to learn the story behind crucible, but it can't hurt! Crucible looks like it should be closely related to the Latin combining form cruc- (“cross”); however, unlike crucial, it isn't. It was forged instead from the Medieval Latin crucibulum, a noun for an earthen pot used to melt metals, and in English it first referred to a vessel made of a very heat-resistant material (such as porcelain) used for melting a substance that requires a high degree of heat. It's possible that the resemblance between cruc- and crucible encouraged people to start using crucible to mean “a severe trial,” as that sense is synonymous with one meaning of cross, but the idea of simmering in a literal crucible also sounds plenty severe. The newest sense of crucible (“a situation in which great changes take place,” as in “forged in the crucible of war”) recalls the fire and heat required to transform some solids into liquids.

Our ocean is the largest biome on  earth making up over 95% of the space for life on the planet. And where there is life there is sound. This week on Catch Our Drift we are talking about the sound of the ocean, listening to music inspired by the ocean and asking what musicians can be doing to highlight the plight of our ocean. We'll be hearing from Lauren Sullivan and Adam Gardner about the inspirational work they are doing uniting musicians such as Jack Johnson and Billie Eilish and their fans to tackle the environmental impact of touring. Explorer, scientist, musician and DJ Ben Mirin explains what we can learn from the health of our ocean and acoustic ecologist and musician Cosmo Sheldrake shares his favourite ocean sounds with us.
