Gallery 1C03, the campus art gallery of The University of Winnipeg, is pleased to present FORECAST<\/em>, a multi-media exhibition by artist Christina Battle, from February 29 until April 12, 2024.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>FORECAST <\/em>is an ongoing series that considers the entanglement between environmental, social, political, and economic challenges facing the current moment. With a focus on air quality and weather prediction, video, banner, and sculptural works in this exhibition consider the complex ways in which we both sense and anticipate the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

Two bodies of work will be featured.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>the air we breathe<\/em> is an expanded, experimental documentary that thinks through the complexities of air pollution by weaving together themes of environmental catastrophe, environmental racism, cultural and political shifts, and conspiracy. Combining research into air pollution along with personal storytelling and speculative imaginings, this project deeply considers the complicated ways in which our air impacts us: from the way that smells travel through it and the memories they evoke; to the physical impacts of pollutants through shared inhalation; to the ways in which the air serves as a metaphor of connection in a cultural sense. Exploring the systemically racist decisions that result in unequally distributed impacts of air pollutants across geographies, this work considers the act of breathing as one of both political and social potential.<\/p>\n

Learning the Signals\/Change is Coming<\/em> is a participatory work that considers strategies for anticipating the weather. It looks more directly to the weather itself as a tool to help sense and predict the trajectory we are heading toward. Visitors are invited to record and share their air quality observations on postcards.<\/p>\n

As part of the program, Christina Battle will deliver a zoom artist talk on March 8 at 11:00 am. Gallery 1C03 will also host a zoom talk by emerging scholar Amy Mazowita on April 2 at 8:30 am.<\/p>\n

Exhibit hours are weekdays 12:00 – 4:00 pm. Closed Friday, March 29.<\/p>\n
