Today Aishath Huda joins us to share her lifelong connection with water and how it has shaped her creative process and perception as an artist. In this conversation about art, nature, and experience, we explore the fluidity of more-than-human consciousness and the impact that abstracting water has on humanity and climate literacy. <blockquote>“When we extract water, or reduce it to H2O, or categorize it as merely a utility and, ultimately, a commodity, we take the place out of water. And this influences how we perceive accountability and our sense of responsibility toward water and climate issues. I mean, climate issues are water issues. Water issues are climate issues.” — Aishath Huda</blockquote> Aishath Huda is a Chicago-based visual artist from the Maldives. She makes work that investigates the relationship between bodies and the environment in both the local and the ecological sense. Her most recent work addresses the many ways water is abstracted through ethics and aesthetics, how this affects climate literacy, and how climate literacy is connected to human and more-than-human relations. we discuss —<ul><li>Huda’s life-long connection with water</li><li>Interacting and collaborating with water through art</li><li>Challenging logic that centers humans</li><li>Life informing art and art informing life</li><li>The commodification of water</li><li>The connection between Huda’s work and performance art</li></ul> LINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —<ul><li><a href='https://www.home-bodies.com/podcast/177'>Water Medicine + the House of the Goddess w—grace</a></li><li><a href='https://www.home-bodies.com/podcast/135'>Of Selkies + Cycles w— mary grace</a></li><li><a href='https://www.home-bodies.com/podcast/132'>Burn Out + Water Medicine w— mary grace</a></li></ul>Mentioned in the episode—<ul><li><a href='https://www.home-bodies.com/water-medicine'>Learn more about the Water Medicine course</a></li><li><a href='https://www.ubcpress.ca/what-is-water'>What is Water? book</a></li></ul>More about our guest —<ul><li><a href='https://www.aishathhuda.com/'>Huda’s website</a></li><li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/factorymodeon/'>Huda’s Instagram</a></li></ul>Free Resources —Discover your wild water archetype + upgrade your self care with our <a href='https://www.mgallerdice.com/water-quiz'>free Water Medicine Quiz</a>Stay Connected —<a href='https://pod.link/1481461156'>Subscribe to the home—body podcast wherever you get your listens.</a><a href='https://www.mgallerdice.com/'>grace’s website</a><a href='https://www.home-bodies.com/'>home—body website</a> This podcast is produced by <a href='https://www.softersounds.studio/'>Softer Sounds.</a> ✨<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hbpodcast">Support the show</a>
