Her Story — Sisters of Science
I was commissioned to write and score a song based on my research of the climate emergency for these concerts, which shared the stories of women who changed our world through STEM.
My commission 'Sisters of Science' was inspired by the UNFCCC report on Gender and Climate Change and Project Drawdown ranking 'the education of women and girls' at number 6 in their table of climate mitigating actions (at the time of my research.)
The lyrics acknowledge the fear of climate change whilst seeing positivity in the form of unified action, draw comparisons with past movements such as the Suffragettes, and emphasise standing with people all over the world for climate justice.
I had the pleasure of teaching the song to the group of women from the community involved in the project and conducting it at the sold out concerts at the Cygnet Theatre, Exeter, which coincided with International Womens' Day.
