Fragments of the Antarctic

About this episode

This episode features a conversation between Sofie Boons and Dr Katrin Linse about the intersection of marine biology and jewellery design, focusing on environmental awareness and creativity inspired by the Antarctic.

Inspiration often comes from the world around us. But what if your context is the Antarctic, one of the most remote and fragile ecosystems on Earth? In this episode of the BAJ Podcast, Sofie Boons speaks with Dr Katrin Linse, marine biologist with the British Antarctic Survey and jewellery maker whose work bridges science, art, and responsibility. Katrin shares how her experiences studying ocean biodiversity informs her creative practice, and how jewellery can be a catalyst for awareness and change. Together, they explore the pressing threats to our oceans and the power of multidisciplinary approaches to tackle global challenges. Listen in to a conversation that invites reflection on our relationship with nature and shows how creativity can inspire stewardship, even from the farthest reaches of the planet.
