WEATHERWORLD (starting at $45)


In this 90 minute workshop, we will look at how weather and weather words are part of cultures, lands and lifes; the human focus on weather being a code to connect, a way to write, and a possibility to paint or photograph.
We will touch upon theories re cultural climates as well as art representing all sorts of weather. Facts lead to fiction: we will draw up ekphrastic freewrites as well as stormy-cloudy-sunny pieces.

Look forward to exploring Weatherland by Alexandra Harris, poems by Vasalis and Cecilia Knapp [a.o.]; artworks by Josefina Holmlund and Frida Kahlo. Included is a document with 'weather art' to muse on, next to the workshop information. To quote anthropologist Kate Fox: “Depending on their response to your weather greeting, you can tell if someone is in the mood for a chat, or is feeling grumpy and negative”. Let’s forecast and freewrite to explore!


Kate Copeland’s love for languages led her to teaching, her love for art & water to poetry. She is curator-editor for TER & runs linguistic-poetry workshops for IWWG [a.o.].
