In season one of Air It, we touched on many current topics that are widely debated around the world. But in the season finale, we look at what might be the most pressing challenge humanity is facing collectively at the moment: climate change. Roux Vosloo, master's student in English Studies, writer, and Jana's brother, guides us into a deep and profound conversation about what constitutes home, how embracing solastalgic feelings can lead to loving our environment (solophilia) and the power of emotion to move us to transformative action.
In episode 8 we do an informal film analysis of 'Mother!', by Darren Aronofsky, as a perfect representation of the nauseating feeling of solastalgia- an emotion Roux argues we are avoiding by obsessing over the perfection of our houses, and by indulging in consumer behaviour. In 2019 it became a global discussion that dealing with climate change has become unavoidable, yet chaotic global politics, a pandemic, and a year later we are still not on the same page as to how much our societies need to change for 'nature' to be restored. It is therefore urgent that we openly and honestly engage with the future of our habitat. This emotional and strangely spiritual conversation is one way we are contributing.
