Heat Futures in Conversation
With Dilina Janadith & Anushka Maheshwary
This cross-city podcast brings together two participants from the Bengaluru and Colombo workshops to reflect on their experiences within Heat Futures at 78°E.
Through their conversation, they explore how rising temperatures are already reshaping everyday life in both cities, and what new forms of practice, collaboration, and imagination are needed as heat intensifies. Drawing on their personal and professional perspectives, this episode brings together stories, insights, and new possibilities that emerge when two cities come into conversation around a shared climate challenge.
