Hell & High Water

Grey Filastine

In a ship’s log remixed for deep listening, listeners are immersed into the true and ongoing voyage of Arka Kinari, an ancient sailing ship transformed into a cultural platform to sound the alarm for the climate crisis. You’ll explore seas and sounds, visit mega-ports and stilt villages, navigate through cyclones and plastic gyres, anchor in post-nuclear atolls, be hosted by sultans, threatened by soldiers, and blessed by shamans. You won’t know where this story ends, because we don’t know either. A creation of Grey Filastine. Launching June 21, 2026, with new seasons dropping each solstice and equinox.
