The Weather Station responds to research and data collected by the Hello Nottingham project on how the public feel about Climate Change. The data has been translated into a blueprint map and installation, using the weather as a way of talking about our relationship to climate.

The drawing maps the spectrum of feelings expressed by people in Nottingham over the past year; positive as living, negative as extractive and the somewhere-in between as complex and entangled.

Centred around the Arboretum, and presented as part of Nottingham Green Festival 2023, four celebrated greenspaces are held in an emblematic form, surrounded by neighbouring landscapes of the city with the Trent connecting the mirrored seas.

Date: Sunday 10th September 2023

Where: Nottingham Arboretum, NG7 4HF

Time: 12–6pm

Find us with the Carbon Neutral Nottingham pitch (near the bandstand).

Nottingham Green Festival is organised by grass roots community based volunteers, not-for-profit and with no statutory funding. The ethical standards and sustainability / environmental / human / animal rights ethos of the FREE one day event are long established, having evolved from the pre-history of Nottingham Peace Festival from which it grew.

Digital Nottingham is collaborating with Nottingham City Council in creating a year-long conversation about the Carbon Neutral agenda with the city.

Tuning Group were commissioned to make a visual and interactive response to data collected through Hello Nottingham, a project which lets you take part in playful and thought-provoking conversations about Climate Change with objects and places around the city.

These conversations are supported by the use of an interactive playful city-wide layer of talking street furniture objects facilitated by experienced providers Hello Lamp Post.

Tuning Group is a social arts collective set up by Mo Langmuir and Samuel Collins.

With a focus on shared space and the collective social experience, they work towards the disruption and expansion of existing Western paradigms, offering to rethink human-non-human relationships and envisage new models for collective storytelling with an emphasis on place.
