The shipping forecast is only ever a prediction about the future…

‘The Weather or Not Station’ made by artists KNEED: Ishwari Bhalerao and Leonie Rousham, is a portable DIY radio station, made up of anecdotes, conversations, rumours, diary entries and poems collected over the next couple of months.

“Join us, as we crane, stretch and squint to read the clouds of today and begin to make a prediction about the weather (both environmental and socio-political!) of tomorrow’s Brandy Row!”

The BBC shipping forecast to the non-nautical is a nightly lullaby of the sea; this station is an eccentric and poetic tale of Portland and its future. Through technological wizardry we will create a broadcast from, and for, the future, focussing on the last Tudor cottage on Brandy Row: what will it see, feel, hear, and become?

Ishwari and Leonie will also be popping all over Portland on Saturday 18th of February, so please come, say hello and record your forecast!
