The internationally known British-Nigerian artist and curator Zina Saro-Wiwa just made her musical debut as SIRA*. The record "Songs for the End of the World" draws on her multidisciplinary approach to art and non-profit organising work. We spoke to Zina about musical influences from her homeland, African environmentalism and practices of deep listening.

The multi-talented artist is known for emotive and political live shows touching the hearts and moving the feet of the audience.
