More Devotedly

Wrapping up Volume II, our mini-season centered on climate change. Douglas Detrick writes about what he's learned about how artists can effectively address climate change in their work, and how it matters to all of us as we struggle with this global crisis.

Douglas Detrick talks with Craig Santos Perez about climate change from his perspective as a Pacific Islander and the stories that continue to inspire him to work for a more sustainable future for all of us.

EM Lewis and Douglas Detrick discuss Lewis's play Magellanica, where a team of scientists studying the hole in the ozone layer at a research station in Antarctica confront environmental crisis, geopolitical conflict, and interpersonal struggle.

We know the facts about climate change. But do we know how we feel about climate change? Stephanie McCollough is a dancer and visual artist based in Portland, OR. She and I talked about climate change through the lens of our own emotional experiences with this global crisis—how did we feel when we first understood how serious climate was? What are the emotions that lead to stasis? What emotions lead to action? What would be required to start a global emotional transition from stasis to change?

A brief epilogue to talk about what I learned through the process of producing Volume I, and also to talk about what’s coming up in Volume II and beyond.

Kunu Bearchum, (Northern Cheyenne/Ho Chunk nation) talks about how he found a way to express his experience as an indigenous person in the United States by applying the ethic of the warrior to his artistic practice.

There are many ways to think about belonging, but because of my guest Joe Kye’s personal history as an immigrant, that’s the lens through which we’ll examine this question in this episode. I've become friends with Joe in the last year and have been so impressed with his musical skill and sensibility, and his genuine, kind personality. Learn more at moredevotedly.com.
