'A Thousand Words for Weather' is new sonic installation born out of a collaboration between writer Jessica J. Lee and seven other London-based poets of different mother-tongues, marking a unique collaboration between Artangel and Senate House Library. Alongside the audio installations taking place across three floors of Senate House Library, a new exhibition spotlighting historical items chosen from Senate House Library's collections will offer a glimpse into different perceptions, recordings, and observations regarding the weather over the past 500 years. The panel will explore the 'A Thousand Words for Weather' project and how our experiences of the weather are manifested and communicated in language, print culture and material culture more broadly.
