Following their participation in the Weather Wonderings workshop, Bristol University based researcher and project lead Temperature Life Stories: Feeling The Heat Dr Alan Kessedy-Asser invited the Weathered Lives team to collaborate on a new project exploring human experiences of rising temperatures.

Adopting a ‘practice-as-research’ model of arts-related research with community groups in Bristol, Temperature Life Stories: Feeling The Heat built connection and understanding of how people imagine ‘climate futures’ in a radically changing world through stories, poetry, numerical and visual data. The interdisciplinary project team included fellow Weathered Lives collaborator Clifton Evers (School of Arts & Cultures, Newcastle University) and lead investigator Cassandra Phoenix, along with Kirk Sides (Department of English, University of Bristol), Caleb Parkin (Poet), Ellie Shipman (Artist and Illustrator), Karen MacDonald (Bristol Museums) and Sarah Mountford (Windmill Hill City Farm).
