In this episode, RE-PEAT collective approaches water justice through imagining the perspective of water nself, by drawing stories and definitions of bodies of water, and n’s entanglement in relation with other bodies, bogs, bugs, sundew, moss, reeds, drops, rivers, will-o’-the-wisp and us.

Through collectivity, music and sounds, we follow a feminist subjectivity, watered, inspired by Astrida Neimanis’s call to “chart our politics of location in a way that recognises our diverse aqueous implications and responsibilities”.

With contributions from Moss Pit, the River Besòs in Barcelona and the Salween River in Thailand by Helen Ganya Brown.

RE-PEAT is a youth-led collective with a mission to change the narrative around peatlands across the UK and Europe - what we term a “peatland paradigm shift”. We strongly believe that peatlands are ecosystems for our times – representing both a vast existential risk and a huge potential for positive transformation, the course of which we follow depending on the actions of those alive today. We also see that these ecosystems can offer insights into a wide array of eco-societal features, including deep time, what we collectively choose to remember/forget, and how we can think beyond binaries.

A six-part series by Meira Asher and Stephen Shiell exploring the interactions between transmission, sound, activism and water. Each episode is created by a different artist or group who engage with water politics and the politics of listening through the medium of radio.
