Flow brings to life the diverse stories of
water and women worldwide
From melting glaciers in Iceland, droughts in Brazil, and flooding rivers in the UK, to rising sea levels in Tuvalu, water is carrying an important message about the climate emergency - and we are here to amplify her voice, to let her be heard.
Flow brings together women artists from across the world to transform lived experiences of water, health and territory into music and powerful live performances. Through art, storytelling and conversation, the project creates space for cultural exchange while placing the voices of Amazonian, Indigenous, migrant, trans women and women of colour at the centre of the environmental dialogue.
Music at the Heart of Climate Action
2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference
The project began as an international artistic collaboration between seven remarkable artists who came together to translate the stories of water into sound.
This collaboration was first presented through five live performances at the UN Climate Conference COP30, in the Brazilian Amazon, in November 2025, where the artists shared their powerful music with key media, activists, and change makers.
Flow at London Climate Action Week 2026
From the Brazilian Amazon to London, Flow continued to connect music, culture and climate action through a series of performances and public conversations.
At London Climate Action Week in June 2026, the artists brought their voices and stories to audiences at Somerset House, Ladbroke Hall and Wellcome Trust, demonstrating how music and culture can deepen public engagement with climate, health and environmental justice.
Flow Album
The Flow album is set for release in November 2026.
Bringing together artists from across the world, the album continues to grow with new collaborators joining the project, including Nadine Shah, Charlotte Church, Sohini Alam, Bebé Salvego, Keila, Madame Gandhi and others.
The music is created using unique water recordings from EarthSonic's Sounds Archive — a growing collection of recordings that captures the voices of the planet's rivers, oceans, glaciers and waterways, with visuals for the project created by Creative Director Ben Sheppee (Observatory London).
The album's first single, Mhondoro, by Shingai, was released in April 2026 to mark Earth Month.
Flow Film
The album will also become the soundtrack to an artistic documentary film, weaving together interviews with women from six countries affected by the water-related crisis.
Premiering on World Water Day, 22 March 2027, the film traces the journeys of the artists and the communities behind their songs, creating a powerful reflection on water, womanhood, resilience, memory and climate justice.
