What’s it about?
In a context of accelerating climate disruption, what is at stake for museums around the globe, and what should be their role as institutions of preservation but also as agents of change?
This lecture will examine museums’ strategies to meaningfully reduce their ecological footprint by rethinking their missions, operations, and cultural programming. We will also study how museums should adapt to climate change, in order to become more resilient on the long term.
Finally we will delve into how, through their collections, museums can enrich the collective thinking about environmental issues. By providing knowledge, nuance, beauty and imagination, how can they help society (re)invent a sustainable future?
