Formed in response to the climate emergency, the World Weather Network is a constellation of weather stations set up by 28 arts agencies around the world and an invitation to look, listen, learn, and act. From June 21 2022 to June 21 2023, artists, writers and communities will share observations, stories, reflections and images about their local weather, creating an archipelago of voices and viewpoints. Engaging climate scientists and environmentalists, the World Weather Network brings together diverse world views and different ways of understanding the weather across multiple localities and languages.
Each partner arts agency has chosen a location of significance from where artists and writers can explore the local weather; we call these “weather stations”. They may be specific places, buildings, environments or wider geographic regions. From each weather station, artists and writers create new works in a range of different art forms: these are the “weather reports”. Explore the stations in the Network here.
Challenging Western perspectives on the weather and climate to produce a non-hierarchical, multilingual platform.
The visual identity embraces the multilingual and non-hierarchical nature of the project through constantly morphing typography and an ever-shifting homepage which incorporates virtual gravity and movement inspired by the ever changing nature of our weather. Aiming to bring the experience of the weather into digital space through interaction, aesthetics and interfaces.
