Belinda Zhawi

Available for over a year

In our world of dissolving distinctions, five contemporary writers imagine life as an animal of their choice and investigate the boundaries between animal and human - each with the help from different animal experts. In this edition, writer and sound artist Belinda Zhawi imagines life as a southern African plains Zebra. In other editions of the series Toby Litt is the brown hare at the outskirts of a wood, Sarah Kosar at the edge of a London park is a soprano pipistrelle bat, Ned Beauman makes dams with the Devon beaver and poet Isabel Galleymore clings to the side of a rock pool as a limpet. Producers Kate Bland and Toby Withers. Becoming Animal is a Cast Iron Radio production for BBC Radio 3. Photo Theo Ndlovu
