This episode navigates this question using an associative method which links stories and sounds, forming a non-linear audio collage. Listeners are invited to tune in to their affective and embodied responses to end time stories including Lulu Miller's podcast and Kiyoshi Kurosawa's horror film, and stories of endurance, with Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner's poem and Tanya Tagaq's audiobook.Nadège Paquette (she/they) is a white settler living in Tiotià:ke/Montréal, on the lands and waters of the Kanien'kehá:ka Nation, where they are completing a master's degree in English Literature at Concordia University. Their research interests aggregate around the relationship between human and nonhuman forms of life and nonlife. They are drawn to narratives of the future extrapolating present troubles and delving into already-existing Indigenous, decolonial, queer, and non-anthropocentric alternatives to a colonial and capitalist world. For them, some of those alternative worlds take the form of collective gardens where they love to work with plants, soil, water, animal, and human neighbors.*Show NotesMusic:Tom Bonheur https://www.instagram.com/dj.g3ntil/Kovd, Kvelden, Tell What You Know, Ivory Pillow, and Fever Creep by Blue Dot Sessions https://app.sessions.blue/Podcast:“The Wordless Place” Lulu Miller https://radiolab.org/podcast/wordless-place“Why Podcast?” Hannah McGregor and Stacey Copeland https://kairos.technorhetoric.net/27.1/topoi/mcgregor-copeland/index.htmlShort Film:Anointed, Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner and Dan Lin https://www.kathyjetnilkijiner.com/videos-featuring-kathy/Film:Pulse, Kiyoshi KurosawaAdditional sounds from:“Interview with Tanya Tagaq,” Alicia Atout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FupatQbcTeM“Open Dialogues: Daniel Heath Justice,” Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrBN8_IGuuw“Monster 怪物,” United for Peace Film Festival https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8OJulGi1Rg*Works CitedBouich, Abdenour. 2021. “Coeval Worlds, Alter/Native Words.” Transmotion 7 (2). https://doi.org/10.22024/UniKent/03/tm.980.Butler, Judith. 2003. “Violence, Mourning, Politics.” Studies in Gender and Sexuality 4 (1): 9–37. https://doi.org/10.1080/15240650409349213.Chion, Michel. 2017.

Speakers: Kathy Jetnil Kijiner, Ursula Rakova, Julian Burnside, and Tim Costello Host: Ben Doherty While the world’s richest countries talk about climate change, many of the poorest nations are experiencing its devastating effects right now. Climate justice activists, Ursula Rakova (Carteret Islands) and Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner (Marshall Islands) are the human face of climate change. Their homelands are the first nations of people being forcibly displaced due to manmade global warming. Ursula Rakova and Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner are joined by Julian Burnside and Tim Costello to explore our responsibilities and the human face of climate change.
Climate change is often spoken about as an abstract problem. Used as a political device by people far removed from the day-to-day reality of rising waters and increasing temperatures, conversations about global warming can often feel distant from our daily lives. At All About Women 2018, we invited two warriors for climate justice to share their experiences of what is happening right now in our world. In a panel called Disappearing Islands, acclaimed spoken-word poet Kathy Jetnil Kijiner from Marshall Islands joined climate activist Ursula Rakova from Bougainville in Papua New Guinea. They were with journalist Jacqueline Maley to discuss what action we can take to save our planet.
We started reporting for this season of Offshore last June, but we’re still chasing down leads and new developments. It’s been a busy few weeks for us. Which means we’re going to be publishing Episode 6 on Monday, May 18. In the meantime, we wanted to share a poem with you by Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner. She’s […]
Marshallese activist and educator Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner uses the power of words and performance to explore the effects of nuclear testing and climate change on her beloved home, the Marshall Islands. She shares a piece on her teenage discovery of the racist nuclear testing program and the origin of the bikini swimsuit's name.Hiroshima survivor Setsuko Thurlow and Kokatha woman from South Australia, Sue Coleman-Haseldine, address the UN conference to negotiate a treaty banning nuclear weapons; invoking their experience of the bomb and demanding a strong treaty so there are “no new victims under a mushroom cloud”. The treaty under negotiation is a new chance to hasten the end of the nuclear age.Image: Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner addresses the UN Climate Summit in 2014.Earth Matters #1083 was produced by Gem Romuld.

Shivani Narang, literary artist participating in Kearny Street Workshop's APAture Kashmiri Human Rights activist Khurram Parvez was taken into custody on his way to 33rd UN Human Rights Council Session in Geneva to brief UN bodies, including the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and foreign governments on the atrocities committed by Indian state forces in Jammu and Kashmir. Khurram's detention comes amidst widespread protests in Kashmir. Since July 2016, 82 civilians have been killed and 11,000 wounded. As international scholars and activists call to Free Khurram, we listen to him in conversation with APEX producer Tara Dorabji, discussing how he began his work for human rights. We also talk with poet Shivani Narang about her performance in Kearny Street Workshop's APAture, a multi-day, multidisciplinary arts festival featuring of emerging Asian artists. The literary arts showcase is on Friday at Arc Gallery and Studios in San Francisco. Then we'll catch up with Kathy Jetnil Kijiner, a Marshallese poet, writer, performance artist and journalist, discussing the International Court of Justice's judgments on preliminary issues in the Marshall Islands' nuclear disarmament case against some nuclear nations. The post APEX Express – October 6, 2016 appeared first on KPFA.
In the 1940s and 1950s, the US Government tested 67 nuclear bombs on the stunning Marshall Islands during the 40s and 50s. The testing program lead to land dispossession, permanent contamination of the land and poisoning from the radioactive fallout. Abacca Anjain-Maddison, a former Senator of Rongelap, tells the story of the “Castle Bravo” detonation and why the Marshallese are still fighting for justice. This talk was recorded on the “Black Mist White Rain” Speaking Tour, exploring the humanitarian impacts of nuclear testing in Australia and the Pacific, and calling for a ban on nuclear weapons. The show also features a spoken word piece by Kathy Jetnil Kijiner, called “History Project”. Image: Abacca speaking in Melbourne during April 2016.
