Weather Spectre. Guided Tour by Rita Süveges

Rita Süveges, visual artist and winner of the 2023 TÓTalJOY Prize, has long been engaged in exploring the cultural, technological and ethical aspects of the ecological crisis. Her exhibition explores the lessons learned from past efforts to change the weather and climate.

Magic, witchcraft and folk customs were relied on to protect against hail and drought. The new worldview of modernity sought to conquer nature, thereby paving the way for the emerging science of weather manipulation.
