Building on contemporary environmental theory, the Community Weathering Station is a practical initiative to seed new ways of responding to climate change in small communities. "Weathering enables us to talk about the ethics of exposure, necessarily in relation to the political economies of place. It recognises the need for shelter while remaining critically attentive to the politics of shelter, always textured by gender, race, class, accessibility, species and other embodied markers. Demonstrating responsibility to place, history, difference, justice and more-than-human earth others, weathering is a critical response concept and practice for our time." (Neimanis and Hamilton, 'feminist review' 2018).
