Honest Climate Conversations
Conference
Line-up
Honest Climate Conversations
Speakers: Lady Shaka, Kiss Nuka
What happens when we strip away the structure of a typical panel and simply listen—to music, to feelings, to each other? In collaboration with Mindworks Lab, this intimate session invites two artists to share tracks that move them and unpack the emotions behind them. Through these musical touchpoints, the conversation explores climate, storytelling, and the emotional significance of music in the climate crisis.
