Today Aishath Huda joins us to share her lifelong connection with water and how it has shaped her creative process and perception as an artist. In this conversation about art, nature, and experience, we explore the fluidity of more-than-human consciousness and the impact that abstracting water has on humanity and climate literacy.

Aishath Huda is a Chicago-based visual artist from the Maldives. She makes work that investigates the relationship between bodies and the environment in both the local and the ecological sense. Her most recent work addresses the many ways water is abstracted through ethics and aesthetics, how this affects climate literacy, and how climate literacy is connected to human and more-than-human relations.

Today, we welcome folk witch, astrologer + spirit worker Amaya Rourke to share her knowledge about how lunar cycles, fixed stars and the force of water shape our lives.

Amaya begins the episode with stories of ancient civilizations’ connection to the night sky and cosmic ocean. Then we reflect on the power of fluidity and surrender, and consider how moon cycles can guide and transform our lives. We close with a discussion of fixed stars and their capacity to change our relationship with astrology.
