Founded in April 2020, open-weather is a feminist experiment in imaging and imagining the earth and its weather systems using DIY community tools. Co-organised by researcher-designer Sophie Dyer and geohumanities scholar Sasha Engelmann, open-weather encompasses a series of accessible how-to guides, public artworks and inclusive workshops on the reception of meteorological satellite images using free, open-source 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 emergency. In doing so, the project challenges dominant representations of earth and environment, while complicating ideas of the weather beyond the meteorological. (2023)
