ONLINE ONLY - How cultural institutions tell the story of climate change
This session can only be accessed online. As someone with an on-site ticket you can access this session using your own device and headset. Room A is available to use to join online sessions.
The Europeana Communicators Community and the Climate Action Community present a joint session on "Communicating climate change through cultural heritage’’
Join and explore how cultural heritage institutions can use their collections and their position in the society to explore/highlight the climate emergency and create citizen engagement.
You’ll hear from three guest speakers:
- Elna Nord from Nordiska museet will introduce the approach taken with the 'Arctic - While the Ice is Melting' exhibition. You’ll hear what Nordiska aimed to communicate through the exhibition, learn some of the challenges of running an exhibition acknowledging the impacts of climate change, and get insights about the impact of the exhibition.
- Bridget McKenzie from Climate Museum UK CIC will introduce the Climate Museum UK and share their approach to communicating about climate.
- Elliot Alexander from Dundee Museum of Transport will spotlight the efforts of the UK museum sector to achieve net zero with case studies. You’ll learn how to stay ahead of the curve in the societal move towards net zero, exploit opportunities and existing resources, improve exhibitions, save money, and create more sustainable visitor attractions that work for everyone.
My professional career combines both my academic research on the digital object with my practice in the public cultural sector. I believe that digital resources not only sustain rich narratives but enable them to fold into cultural heritage – or unwrap from them to open up new pathways for self-directed learning and creative ways of thinking about self; past and present. Emeritus, Senior Curator of New Media and Head of the Internet Office at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Masters, and PhD research at Goldsmiths College, University of London in Media and Communications focused on electronic architectures in the contemporary museum.
