A Year of Weather
In wake of Typhoons Yagi and Krathon, Storm Boris, and Hurricanes Helene and Milton; while feeling, still, the consequences of anomalous heat stress this Summer, open-weather will share their work making tools and infrastructures bound up in our observations and sensing of weather. In open-weather, tools and infrastructures are understood as both technical and social. While weather and climate are always more-than-meteorological.
This talk coincides with the launch of a Year of Weather: a collective, trans*local experiment in reading the weather to honour and deepen climate literacies.

Open-weather is a feminist experiment in imaging and imagining the earth and its weather systems using DIY community tools. Co-led by researcher-designer Sophie Dyer and creative geographer Sasha Engelmann, open-weather encompasses a series of how-to guides, critical frameworks and public workshops on the reception of satellite images using free or inexpensive amateur radio technologies. In the tradition of intersectional feminism, open-weather investigates the politics of location and interlocking oppressions that shape our capacities to observe, negotiate, and respond to the climate crisis. In doing so, open-weather challenges dominant representations of earth and environment while complicating ideas of the weather beyond the meteorological.
