Street Theater & Climate Change: Flood Sensor Aunty

About this episode

The episode discusses community building through street theater in the context of climate change and extreme weather events in Minneapolis.

In our final scheduled episode, we talk both about the horrible things happening in our home (Minneapolis), and the inspiring (and high-energy) community building work of Sabina Sethi Unni, who has created a street theater play about flood sensors. Yes - flood sensors. Specifically, a flood sensor working in a chai shop. Sabina is on to something here - having strong community connections can be the difference between life and death during extreme weather events. We are also seeing the importance of those kind of connections in Minnesota right now, with the trauma being inflicted by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
