This panel, a first in a new series hosted by the Museum Studies program at University of the Arts, aims to reflect on how museum practices are adapting to their responsibility to address the climate crisis directly. This conversation will touch on narrative strategies in exhibitions and public engagement tactics for co-creation and infrastructure planning for museums, as well as policy documents and public statements regarding environmental issues and practices. The speakers will share examples of storytelling strategies that are intended to avoid despair, catalyze action, advocate policies, and convene community.
