Tuesday, October 14th, 7pm @ the Berwick 14 Palmer St, Dudley Sq, Roxbury
With the Berwick, Nathalie Miebach will be working on a project called "Weather Suits for Cities". The project focuses on exploring the difference of both human perspective and physical viability of weather within an urban environment, for which Miebach will build a portable weather station that is entirely constructed on her body. Almost like a "weather suit", this weather station will record weather on a minute-by-minute basis - while she is walking through a park, riding the T or biking to work, to record the invisible meteorological changes within the urban landscape. At the same tme, this weather suit will be her vehicle through which to address larger questions as to how the meaning and function of weather articulates itself and changes in an urban environment, particularly in an age of human-induced climate change.
