The "Water as an Entity" podcast aims to explore the possibility of achieving legal personhood for water bodies around the world. We navigate conversations with researchers, scientists, artists and activists to hear their thoughts on seeing water as a living entity and how that impacts their work.

    For this episode, we sat down with Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who gave us valuable insight on the spiritual, religious and political aspects of river autonomy. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto is a textile artist, curator and a self-proclaimed Zombie. His work explores everything from religion and spirituality to sociopolitical and environmental attitudes in the South Asian, South West Asian and North African Region. Among his many notable works is a personal favourite: the bold curatorial work for ‘Queer Muslim Futures’ has inspired many to view queerness among Muslims in a different way and have necessary conversations to achieve that. Born in Damascus, he is now based in Karachi, Pakistan working on his newest project Bulhan Nameh which translates to Dolphin Diaries. Through this work, we learn about the River Indus - a 3,180 km long river that runs through South and Central Asia home to many freshwater dolphins.
