An exhibition exploring the historical impact of climate change

Our next venue will be Silverdale Library
From 29 May until 1 July 2024

This small exhibition explores memories of extreme weather events in Staffordshire through artistic responses. In 2021 local people were invited to participate in creative workshops in Stafford, Burton-upon-Trent and online. These included poetry, storytelling and paper art. Participants were asked to think about and record their experiences of extreme weather and climate.

Some of the work produced in the workshops is on display. The exhibition also features artefacts from the Staffordshire Museum Collection and copies of historic documents and photographs from the Staffordshire Record Office which reveal historic weather events recorded through diary entries and letters.
