Shanghai’d crew, smuggled persons, stains on the horizon, storms in the sea. From the North Sea towards North Africa, the first voyage of Arka Kinari goes south in more ways than one.

Arka Kinari is kept afloat and this story made possible by the ClimateWorks Foundation, Liminous Foundation, and people like you joining our Patreon

A 3-minute recap of the first season. Set sail with second season on the equinox, 20th September, 2026.

In the season finale, Arka Kinari takes form, gravity, and momentum. We become many, as an international team of sleepless masochists gather to refit the ship under constant police harassment in the mega-port of Rotterdam. They will come and we will build it.
