Gotham Projects

Aislinn Weidele

Trained as a photographer, I work across printmaking, photography, ceramics, and mixed media to tell stories of environmental crisis. My work reimagines environmental concerns and natural history through a fantastical, narrative lens. While some images stand alone, they are often part of larger stories presented as zines or web-based experiences.

I’m currently developing a series of illustrated “survival guides” that explore contemporary dystopian anxieties—climate collapse, viral extinction, and alien or zombie scenarios—blending satire, speculative fiction, and visual storytelling. These guides act as both commentary and coping mechanisms for an increasingly uncertain world.

I live and work in the Bronx, NY, where I retreat to the old-growth forests of Van Cortlandt Park.
