Water 9: Rain

“Blessed are the dead that the rain rains upon,” wrote poet Edward Thomas in the trenches of the first World War. Today’s episode deals with two different sorts of grief: climate grief, as inspired by composer Jamie Perera’s Anthropocene in C Major, and pandemic grief, which he tackled in his follow-up project, Sonification. Today’s episode explores how we might utilize grief productively to make change, and considers the importance of interrogating what it means to consider ourselves the antagonists in a climate change narrative.
