Hell & High Water is a captain’s log shared as an oral memoir, a voyage through seas and sound, an exploration of unnatural histories and uncertain futures. Listeners will be immersed into the true and ongoing story of Arka Kinari, an ancient rusting sailing ship transformed into a cultural platform to sound the alarm for the climate crisis. Together we’ll visit mega-ports and stilt villages, navigate through cyclones and plastic gyres, explore post-nuclear atolls, be hosted by sultans, threatened by soldiers, blessed by shamans, while sailing through scenes of sublime beauty and terrifying war. You can’t know the end of this story, because we don’t know it either.
A creation of Grey Filastine. Launching June 21, 2026, with new seasons dropping each solstice and equinox.
