"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" - Bob Dylan.

Dramatic weather is everywhere, affecting our lives presumably more than ever before. Humanity had just experienced the hottest average temperature ever recorded on Earth. Heavy, blinding fog, smoke from forest fires, and incessant smog fill the air. We have had record sleet and snowfall this year, giving us dangerous swollen rivers late into summer.

Dealing with urgent and relevant themes is OCCCA's strength, and the ecological crisis is what the current exhibition I take part in is all about.

With Shana Nys Dambrot

This exhibition - How is the Weather? Art and Climate Change - initiated by Debra Vodhanel, the exhibition Curator, and Shana Nys Dambrot, art critic, curator, and author, explores new artistic solutions and innovative creations that might mitigate the impending doom of climate change.
