How can we create living, dynamic archives? How can we perceive and tune into climate change through the activation of bodies and stories? How does observation become relationality and care?
In this session, artist Sybille Neumeyer will give a short introduction in her work and research into biocultural weather knowledges. She will introduce concepts of forecasting and hindcasting and multispecies perspectives. Together with participants we will look at modes of traditional local weather observation, scientific and cultural prediction practices, signals of the climate crisis and feelings of uncertainty, and examine how these are interrelated, while developing new signs and biocultural readings. We will also drink some global warming.
The workshop will take place outside gallery opening hours at D21.
Limited places for 10 participants, participation via registration until 08.03. here
If there are more registrations, a lot will be drawn.

Through polyphonic (hi)storytelling, installations, walks, performative lectures, and video essays, she examines terrestrial communities, planetary metabolisms and more-than-human atmospheres. In her ongoing research she is investigating alternate mediations of climate and weather and the role of transformative narratives towards biocultural diversity and a social and ecological just future. Neumeyer’s works have been presented at LABoral Gijon, Heidelberger Kunstverein, ArtLaboratory Berlin, Onassis Stegi, Kunsthaus Dresden, ZKM Karlsruhe, DESY Hamburg, amongst others.
