EP 16 - Dalia Al-Dujaili on Migration and Myth

This week on ⁠How to Make Climate Change Sexy,⁠ I’m joined by ⁠Dalia Al-Dujaili⁠, a British-born Iraqi writer, editor, and producer, to explore how stories of land, identity, and migration can become powerful tools for ecological and cultural change.

Dalia’s debut book, ⁠Babylon, Albion⁠, has been described as “a love song to Britain, Iraq, and the body of earth we hold in common.”  In this episode, we dive into how nature has served as both sanctuary and compass in her personal journey navigating identity, diaspora, and belonging.

We’ll unpack how cultural narratives can be reimagined in ways that are decolonial, magical, and deeply political. From the haunting legacies of stately homes to the quiet resurgence of Druidism, this is a conversation that reminds us our personal histories are always entwined with the ecological and the political.

🎧 How to Make Climate Change Sexy is a podcast that dives into conversations with guests who are using culture and innovation to address the climate crisis. Together, we explore how their creative approaches can become powerful tools for driving the change our planet needs.
