How can art make science more digestible and emotive for non-scientists, and how can science inspire art? In our first episode for 2023, River chats to Associate Professor Grayson Cooke, media artist and Chair of Creative Arts at Southern Cross, about his work with satellite data, music and cloud fantasia, not to mention how human beings can be a geological force of nature. One for both artists and scientists interested in the boundaries of their disciplines and what happens when they dissolve.

AfricaNow! March 22, 2023 Effects of Cyclone Freddy on Malawi and Mozambique 

Topic and Guests: Cyclone Freddy which has devastated the south-east African countries of Madagascar, Malawi and Mozambique started in early February this year and continued to mid-March is the longest lasting cyclone in recorded history.  It initially made landfall on February 21 in Madagascar then Mozambique.  Then Cyclone Freddy picked more strength over the Indian Ocean and made its second arrival on Mozambique and Malawi in early March.  The second wave of Cyclone Freddy was more devastating causing hundreds of thousands displaced, hundreds killed and tremendous damage to the countries’ infrastructure.  Over 500 people have died in three south-east African countries of Madagascar, Malawi, and Mozambique.  Malawi has been impacted the most from Cyclone Freddy and the country’s President Lazarus Chakwera has declared a 14-day national mourning period.  According to newspaper reports Malawi’s Department of Disaster Management stated that as of March 21, the death toll is 499; and 508,288 people are displaced (Government banks on partners, by Bobby Kabango, The Nation, March 22, 2023 https://mwnation.com/government-banks-on-partners/).

Things are hotting up as COP27 enters its final days and human rights defenders demand the release of Alaa Abd el-Fattah. The Egyptian-British pro-democracy activist has been on a six month hunger strike and has refused water since the climate conference began ten days ago. British Parliament is up in arms over it. Lady Boycott is concerned about human rights abuses, Lord Purvis of Tweed wants to pause the 4 billion pound trading partnership.  Khalid Abdalla, the Egyptian-British actor who’ll play Dodi al-Fayed in the upcoming season of Netflix's The Crown, is also concerned. So has Alaa cornered Egypt?

1.6 - Has Alaa Cornered Egypt?

Few people are untouched by the humble power of music. When we’re in the depths of grief or the quietude of mid-winter blues, little soothes—provides the same solitary comfort and seen-ness—as concisely as Nina Simone’s throaty crooning or Yo-Yo Ma’s haunting cello suites. We employ music to help us focus, to energize movement, to coax us to sleep. A good soundtrack, one that augments rather than detracts, is implicit in a successful film, offering an artistic interpretation of both the director’s vision and the screenwriter’s story. Playlists define parties — whether intimate dinner gatherings or all-night raves — with intentionality and grace, coaxing community through a nuanced alchemy of harmony, dissonance, rhythm, and frissons of indefinable energy. Music is everywhere, in the mundane trappings of daily life, the wild grace of nature, the amalgamation of creativity and emotion in art.

Here, host Tate Chamberlin and esteemed public speaker, musician, and social activist Jurgis Didziulis talk about their recent work at the United Nations COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, the windy roads intrinsic to seeking self and cultivating community, and the harmony in, and within, it all.

THIS SEASON:  It seems, now more than ever, that we have found ourselves on the cusp of monumental worldwide change. Whether we consider the environment, politics, infrastructure, health, economics, or equities across a broad swath of social constructs, the consensus is clear and urgent: all is not as it should be. The United Nations (UN), a consortium of 193 Member States from around the globe, agrees. In 2015, the UN unanimously adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) calling for urgent action in global partnership to secure “peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.” In alignment with the goals, HATCH — a curated network of innovators, artists, activists, and entrepreneurs working together to accelerate positive global change — focused its fall summit impact labs on topics related to their four impact pillars: EQUITY, EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT, and EMPOWERMENT This series will explore those on the frontlines of transformational systems change, accelerating solutions for these human challenges.
