+==== Adhocracy Residency Preparation ====
+A year on from the residency at Parenzana in Istria, we are digging deeper with the research on both Weather Lore and Future Forecasting. In keeping with the form and structure of the first residency, we are again contextualising the project as a family in residence. Over four days our family, Matt, Miranda (5yrs), Florence (1yr) and myself will inhabit the foyer of the Waterside Workers Hall home of Vitalstatistix Theatre Company in Port Adelaide. Nik and Maya will contribute via a remote presence through these notes and participate through a skype presence in an artist talk on Future Forecasting on Monday the 9th June.
+Speculative Culture/ Weather Lore is a project exploring future forecasting and sustainable living in a time of rapid climate change. It is a family-based project exploring weather lore and future forecasting through a series of cultural strategies.
+History is full of rhymes, anecdotes, and proverbs meant to guide the uncertain in determining whether the next day will bring fair or foul weather. Farmers watched the sky colour to know when to sow and reap. Mariners noted wind and waves for signs of change. Contemporary weather lore often manifests from people’s anxiety about a future of floods, famine and fires. The question is how does the superstitious or curious imagination make sense of all this?
+The project is utilising a future forecasting methodology which encourages people to investigate living in a range of possible futures, designed as artistic experiments.  The methodology takes uncertainty as a creative challenge, a call for cultural work in which visions of everyday life in the time ahead become tangible and discussable.
+The Neville-Thomas family subscribe to a sustainable, resilient way of life where they grow their own food, fish locally, raise chickens and work closely with local natural resources. At Adhocracy we will explore speculative cli-fi scenarios, document dialogues with farmers and fishers, develop digital stories and sound scores, conduct pop-up future forecasting and other cultural interventions within the Adhocracy event, cook, tend to plants, look after their children and conduct artist talks about the diverse facets of this cultural endeavour.
+==== Notes from 20140604 ====
+Subsequently we are continuing to collect Weather Lore proverbs both via the internet and in discussion with Fishers and Farmers.
