Collecting the Climate Emergency: Process and Practice

The Museums and Heritage Sector declares a climate emergency.  We can change lightbulbs to LEDs and examine climate control, but what are the radical questions? Should we be collecting less and differently? Should museums be loaning digital artefacts? What makes an activist want to give their ephemera to a collection? A group of different voices ranging from activists to archivists discuss these questions on Earth Day 2022 and move to action.

Collecting the Climate Emergency: Process and Practice, Friday 22nd April, 12pm to 1.30pm, Online, Free

Part our 30 Anniversary programme and GSA’s ‘Close of Play: Climate Emergency and Creative Action’ series which explores the ways in which creative actions and multi-disciplinary practice can address climate emergency, sustainability, and climate justice.
