Huarere: Weather Eye, Weather Ear Exhibition Opening

Join Te Tuhi from 4–6pm on Saturday 3 June 2023, for an evening of hospitality, kai and kōrero to open our new exhibition, 'Huarere: Weather Eye, Weather Ear'.

Weather is not just happening to us, we, humans, are happening to the weather. 'Huarere: Weather Eye, Weather Ear' is the physical culmination of a year-long digital programme following the seasons of the Maramataka, in which Te Tuhi becomes a ‘weather station’ in the World Weather Network, a constellation of 28 international arts agencies spurred on by our collective experience of new, unwelcome weathers.

Our weather eye and weather ear are sensory alert systems. Attuning to cultural, scientific and activist ‘quasi-instruments’ of weather observation, the artists in 'Huarere: Weather Eye, Weather Ear' offer a means of feeling and knowing our warming climes.
