Organised by Niche and Prada Foundation in collaboration with our PhD Program and 2nd-level Master of Research in Science and Management of Climate Change.

Fondazione Prada, Venezia
Ca’ Corner della Regina

“Everybody Talks About the Weather − Public Program” is a two-day symposium taking place at Fondazione Prada’s Venetian venue, the historic Palazzo Ca’ Corner della Regina, on 5 and 6 October 2023.

Organized in collaboration with THE NEW INSTITUTE Centre for Environmental Humanities (NICHE) at Ca’ Foscari University of
Venice, it investigates the topics and complex questions related to the global environmental emergencies.

The symposium’s themes arise in the research exhibition “Everybody Talks About the Weather”, curated by Dieter Roelstraete and including scientific spotlights developed in collaboration with NICHE. The show, on view in Venice until 26 November 2023, explores the semantics of “weather” in visual art, taking atmospheric conditions as a point of departure to investigate the climate crisis emergency. More than fifty works by contemporary artists and a complementary selection of historical artworks trace how climate and weather have shaped our histories and how humanity has dealt with our everyday exposure to meteorological events.
