Weathergods

Humans worshipped the gods of weather but now have the godlike power to control and distort it. In this sound art exhibition and performances curated by the Portuguese researcher and sound art curator Raquel Castro, the climate emergency is in focus. Weathergods urges us to change our perception of the environment and our place within it.
