Open-weather trailer 2023

Open-weather is a feminist experiment in imaging and imagining the earth and its weather systems using DIY tools. Co-led by designer Sophie Dyer and geographer Sasha Engelmann, the project weaves intersectional feminist principles and speculative storytelling with low cost hardware and open-source software to transform our relations to a planet in climate crisis.

Through artworks, workshops and how-to guides, open-weather probes how we experience, observe and respond to ever stranger weather and global heating. Here, weather extends beyond the meteorological to include political climates and atmospheres of affect. More than an ephemeral present, the weather expands our relationship to colonial histories and is a medium with which to envision possible futures.
