In this episode, Jennifer is joined by Natan Obed, President of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, for a wide-ranging conversation on Inuit self-determination, infrastructure, and Canada’s future in the Arctic.

Originally from Nunatsiavut, Obed has become one of the leading voices advocating for Inuit rights and equity within Canadian society. He shares his journey from studying at Tufts University to leading national efforts for policy change, and highlights the urgent need for infrastructure investments, from deep-water ports to clean energy projects.

With a focus on practical solutions and long-term collaboration, he calls for Canada to move beyond symbolic gestures and into an era of respectful, results-driven partnership with Inuit communities.

Shifting Ice

A chat with Acacia Johnson & Jonas Paurell, two photographers specialized in Arctic and Antarctic regions, about interpreting these realms of shifting ice, ethereal light, and profound environmental change through the lens of fine art and conservation photography. Our discussion explores how photography serves as both a creative pursuit and a call to action, capturing the transcendent beauty of polar regions while bearing witness to its fragility.

The Beauty & Impact of Polar Photography, with Acacia Johnson & Jonas Paurell

Commissioned by the AHRC research project, ORDERED UNIVERSE, led by Prof. Giles Gasper (Durham University) and Dr Hannah Smithson (University of Oxford), Napa Lighted Art Festival (U.S) and Light Up Poole (UK)

Exhibited at Napa Lighted Art Festival (U.S) and Light Up Poole (UK)
It was seen by 40,000 people in Napa, California and another 40,000 in Poole, Dorset in the UK.

‘Horizon’ follows the journey of humankind through time, how we have discovered our place in the universe through what we see, and how that view has changed as we go beyond the limit of our horizon. 

Beginning with the scientific teachings of the English medieval polymath Robert Grosseteste and journeying to 21st century satellite explorations at the Jet Propulsion Laboratories, NASA, we see how our knowledge is shaped by the horizon of our viewpoint, by what is visible and invisible to us, and how we still seek answers on how we should live.

Karen worked with scientists from JPL-NASA involved with climate investigations, particularly on water availability for plant life and the threat of rising sea levels creating scripts and storyboards that connected their work with Grosseteste's theories. Through the partnership with the Ordered Universe team members, Karen recorded also the fruits of their own research as well as carrying out further research of her own to weave the potent narrative. 

In Poole, she presented a talk on creatively working with the group at the event’s light art symposium.

Horizon (excerpt)

“Arctic” is a minimalist, emotional deep house journey through sonic landscapes as vast and fragile as ice. Produced by Enaque & Nujord, the track pairs glacial textures with pulsing rhythms and haunting melodic fragments — capturing the feeling of stillness beneath turbulence.

Atmospheric and immersive, “Arctic” bridges the cinematic and the rhythmic. It’s a slow-burn exploration of contrast: cold and warmth, silence and motion, isolation and presence. With strong alternative dance roots and an ambient edge, this track is perfect for deep listening, chill playlists, or moody late-night sets.

Hey everyone! So this is actually the *very first* set I’ve ever recorded since picking up a DDJ-FLX4 about two months ago. I’m 53, and honestly, I just wanted to mess around and have some fun with it—no big ambitions, just good vibes. I'm still getting the hang of beat matching and key matching (so go easy on me!), but I’ve been having a blast learning. Anyway, hope you enjoy the mix—cheers, Dan 🎶

«Ермак» — это музыкальная сага, вдохновлённая суровой мощью арктического ледокола, пробивающего путь через ледяную тишину. Песня переносит слушателя в мир, где сталь и пар сливаются с дыханием морозной мглы, а компас дрожит под зовом севера. Ритм механического сердца машины, пылающие котлы и треск льда создают звуковую картину борьбы и триумфа. Северное сияние освещает путь, а команда героев пишет историю в полярных льдах, оставляя за собой эхо железной воли, что сильнее вечной мерзлоты.
