U Talk S2E107: Shumaila Hemani, Ph.D.

From June to October 2022, Pakistan was hit by devastating floods. Heavier monsoon rains and melting glaciers that followed a severe heat wave caused immeasurable loss of life and displaced millions. Extreme weather events like this are linked to climate change. A Sufi singer-songwriter and acousmatic composer combined traditional storytelling with poetry and sculpted with environmental sounds to create a music project that brings awareness and climate action forward.
