WE ARE THE WEATHERS
Commission / funded group project (residency, events and festival). 1 July – 31 August 2023 (upcoming)
ALTER- (Altitude Laboratory Transition Experiments Research) Switzerland

We are the Weathers – a TSOEG Team fieldwork programme

We are the Weathers is a counter-mapping project by members of the Temporal School of Experimental Geography (TSOEG). The project will use transdisciplinary fieldwork to explore the weather as a high mountain entity – we will investigate its shape-shifting characters, physical influences and event based performances. Drawing on local imaginaries and collective fieldwork we will remap the Val d’Anniviers to reflect the embodied presence of weather on the people, places, histories and futures of the Alpine landscape.
