As part of our digital residency at the New Museum, Ensayos produced three podcasts drawing from our transdisciplinary work. The podcasts focus on waters in different archipelagic regions, including Tierra del Fuego, New York, eastern Australia, and Norway. Journalist Catalina Jaramillo guides listeners through four acts that mirror different aspects of Ensayos’ field research: fiction, fact, somatic exercise, and care ethics. Each concludes with a song. I produced episode 3 and co-wrote songs for all three episodes.
