A bstract:
In the context of climate change\, large infras tructure adaptation projects fortify against increasingly bad weather to pr otect the status quo. If infrastructure is a substrate for life and sociali ty that suggests what is possible\, we argue that a transformative feminist response to climate change demands different kinds of infrastructure: infr astructures that support other collective\, social\, material\, and multisp ecies ways of being in common. Feminist infrastructure for better weatherin g is a proposal and a practice that emerges from seven years of collaborati on across various projects. As The Weathering Collective (which al so includes artist Tessa Zettel)\, we experiment in building and maintainin g alternative climate change infrastructures. Collectively\, in passing\, a nd unspectacularly\, these help us practice supported vulnerability and neg otiated shelter across difference\, and create possibilities for non-transa ctional curiosity and care.
