Lessons Learned: Weather Warnings reflects on the major redevelopment works affecting North Glasgow in the present day and how these plans echo  previous cycles of gentrification, divestment, and community disempowerment—where austerity and poverty are reframed as ‘opportunity’.

What does it mean to define an area by what ‘used to happen there’—where ‘post-industrial’ is used as a kind of euphemism to mean ‘nothing happens here’, or maybe more accurately, ‘nothing white happens here’ or ‘nothing middle class’ happens here?  Lessons Learned: Weather Warnings charts how the architecture and infrastructure of the city underpins and produces our understandings of austerity, poverty, race, and class.

Developed through a series of song-writing workshops led by musician and researcher Lucy Cathcart Fröden, the song features lyrics in Albanian, Turkish, Twi, Basque, Swahili, Gujarati and reflects on the choirs’ personal experiences of journey, home, exile, and joy.
