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 singer and pianist Afra Kane does not want to be put into a box. In her new record "Could We Be Whole" she draws from her background in classical music and Nigerian gospel but breaks their boundaries to create something new. We spoke to the artist about what freedom means to her and embracing imperfections.
