Te Taki o te Ua/The Sound of Rain

Te Taki o te Ua / The Sound of Rain

Kāi Tahu choreographer, video artist Louise Pōtiki Bryant with kaiwaiata, taoka puoro player Ariana Tikao & composer Paddy Free. 

Te Taki o te Ua / The Sound of Rain is an inspiring video installation and performance weaving dance, waiata, taoka puoro, animation and video in a work addressing the impacts of climate change in the takiwā of Kāi Tahu, Te Waipounamu.

The video exhibition is made up of three moving image works: Waikohu / Mist is an expression of the water cycle in balance and honours the emergence of freshwater as a consequence of the separation of Rakinui and Papatūānuku; Pakapaka / Drought addresses the projected increased frequency and intensity of drought in some takiwā; Āwhā / Storm tackles the projected increase in intensity and frequency of storms and flooding as a consequence of climate change.

The artists received mentorship from Dr Daniel Hikuroa, a scientist who specialises in mātauranga Māori, as well as earth systems and fresh water scientist, Dr Mike Joy (both are part of What if Climate Change was Purple?) in the early stage of development.

Te Taki o te Ua / The Sound of Rain performance was made with the support of What if Climate Change was Purple?

UN just released a "survival guide for humanity", UN just released a "survival guide for humanity", which said the world is rapidly approaching catastrophic levels of heating with international climate goals set to slip out of reach unless immediate and radical action is taken. 
The synthesis report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the culmination of almost six years of work by thousands of scientists representing the most comprehensive summary of human knowledge on our climate. The report is agreed on by all governments involved. 
It also crucially declares we will "likely" fail to reach the 1.5-degree target aimed at preventing the most catastrophic consequences of climate change. The world has already warmed by 1.1C and now experts say that it is likely to breach 1.5C in the 2030s. Current policies have us on course for 2.7C, as per @climateactiontr
New IPCC Synthesis Report here: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/
In response to the findings, UN secretary general Antonio Guterres says that all countries should bring forward their net zero plans by a decade. These targets are supposed to rapidly cut the greenhouse gas emissions that warm our planet's atmosphere.

One of the Report's figures relates to the fairness across generations. The generation of kids born in 2010s will face substantially more heatwaves, heavy rainfall  and droughts during an average lifetime than their grandparents.
It's time to act and give #climateactionnow everything we've got!
