Water Stories: the Podcast

Water Stories: the Podcast, produced by BioBAT Art Space and hosted by Eve Barro, offers an immersive exploration into the intricate relationship between humans and water. I was honored to be interviewed by Eve in the second episode of "Water Stories: the Podcast." I talked about my project Flow, which engages communities through shared stories of water, fostering kinship and reciprocity.
