What does it mean to look at the sky in an age of atmospheric instability and weather threats?

Andrea Gunnlaugsdóttir and Claudia Lomoschitz invite the attendants of this audio-performance to witness movements, choreographies, and politics of the sky through a feminist lens.  CUMULUS opens up practices of acknowledging the sky and creating moments of bonding with the surrounding environment that is the living space we all share.
