  5. Science and Art: Climate Change and The Singing Glacier

    Science and Art: Climate Change and The Singing Glacier

    This month, we are experimenting with a slightly different format for you! Instead of one long episode, our main episode will be broken up into four shorter episodes, so you can listen to all four in one go or come back later. Our second interview in the SCIENCE AND ART series is with Helen Mort and Kathryn Adamson. We will explore how science and art working together can help to communicate the widespread effects of climate change and inspire people to action. Many thanks to Bill Carslake, Flora Curzon and Helen Mort for letting us play a clip from The Singing Glacier. You can find out more about the project and watch the full piece here: http://theglaciertrust.org/blog/2018/6/21/the-singing-glacier Music composed and played by Bill Carslake, with Flora Curzon on violin.
