Blue sunshine, milky skies, budding clouds .... the weather is a favourite subject that encourages encounters and loosens tongues.
For the MAGIC WEATHER WITCHES project, the artists Amina Saâdi and Rébecca Fruitman defined a perimeter of action according to the names of streets in the Brussels area that refer to the climate: rue du Méridien, avenue des Tropiques, clos du Soleil, rue du Zéphyr... They interviewed passers-by, each time asking them the question "What do you think the weather will be like on ... ?". The sound bites that make up MAGIC WEATHER WITCHES offer daily weather forecasts.
This autumn, you no longer have to choose between an umbrella, sunglasses or a kite: just listen to the weather prediction of the day in Constant’s window!
In the framework of this installation, on 08-10-2022, Amina Saâdi and Rébecca Fruitman invite you to a workshop to record the weather forecast for your birthday or the birthday of a loved one. Whether it is your wish or a wish to send as a gift, all weather is allowed! Your forecast will then be sent to you and you are welcome to share it with yours, maybe as a birthday gift ...
