A worldwide network of artists, writers and communities reporting on their weather and our climate from June 2022 – June 2024.
Over the next 12 months, the World Weather Network will draw to a close. All commissioned artworks and accompanying conversations will be available on our online platform until May 2025. The archive of conversations will be available on the World Weather Network YouTube channel.
The world’s weather is not what it was. We see glaciers melting and water levels rising. Some lands are flooded and others are parched. Everywhere is heating up.
Formed in response to the climate emergency, the World Weather Network was 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 2024, artists, writers and communities shared 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 brought together diverse world views and different ways of understanding the weather across multiple localities and languages.
Weather Stations
Each partner arts agency chose a location of significance from where artists and writers explored the local weather; these are called “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.
Reports
Weather Reports take many different forms: poetry, fiction, reportage, video diaries, films, photography, podcasts and more. Each report was shared as a digital artwork via this site.
An archive of all accompanying conversations is available for audiences on the World Weather Network YouTube channel, click here to explore the programme of conversations with leading artists, writers and climate scientists.
