Join the founders of the Tempestry Project for a brown bag presentation to discuss their project sharing climate data through weaving and crocheting and developing a venture to enable others to create their own “tempestries." What began as a joke about preserving ephemeral online data using ancient traditions turned into The Tempestry Project, a collaborative initiative that blends fiber art, data representation, and environmental activism. In this talk, Asy and Emily will share how an idea with humble beginnings grew into a nationally recognized project with numerous exhibitions in museums, schools, and public spaces. In addition to highlighting how art can connect us to information, and to each other, this event will also kick off development of the Colgate Tempestry Collection which will be displayed in the Longyear Museum of Anthropology in Spring 2026 (see below).Hot wraps from Hamilton Whole Foods will be provided and will include vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free options. Please bring your own reusable water bottle.Looking Ahead - Spring 2026 The Longyear Museum of Anthropology will feature Tempestry: The Art of Climate Data, opening after spring break. This exhibition is the culmination of a participatory art project taking place over the course of the 2025-2026 academic year in collaboration with the Tempestry Project, as well as on-campus partners including the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, the Environmental Studies Program, the Office of Sustainability and the Residential Commons.This series co-hosted by Entrepreneurship & Innovation; Residential Commons; Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; the Longyear Museum of Anthropology.
