The Weather Report Promised Rain

The exhibition contemplates the predicted possible futures of the planet’s ecosystems due to climate change, which is mostly brought on by humanity’s impact on the planet’s ecologies. Chrisél questions how we can engage with our landscapes differently so that partial healing can be possible through her exploration of the Cape landscape.

In the exhibition, Chrisél invites the public to explore the fictional landscape she created in the gallery space, suggesting practices of wayfaring and ‘polite curiosity.’ She asks us to look closer, engage more, and consider more carefully the shape and depth of the footprints we leave behind.
