Hi Niti,
My colleague and I are organising a workshop on ‘Sustainable Curating’ at the Science Museum. I was wondering if it might be possible to circulate the Call for Papers around SHCG mailing list? I’ve posted the copy below.
All the best,
Rupert
Sustainable Curating: Call for papers
A workshop at the Science Museum, London: 29 April 2020
How can curators work in environmentally sustainable ways at this time of ecological crisis? How might we reflect on sustainable curatorial practices and how can we address sustainability through exhibitions and displays?
This one-day workshop will explore the theory and practice of sustainable curating in the museum and heritage sectors. We invite curators, museum professionals, academics and artists to submit proposals for contributions on various aspects of curating, which we conceive broadly to include gallery development, exhibition display, interventions, collections management, development and engagement, and research. Topics might include:
- Developing content for galleries and exhibitions on sustainability topics
- Curating galleries and exhibitions in sustainable ways
- The carbon footprint of collecting, lending and storing objects
- The challenges and opportunities of sustainable curating
- Reflections on the concept of ‘sustainability’ in relation to curation
- Collaborating with environmental groups and activists
Please send an abstract of no more than 200 words and 150 bio to [log in to unmask] by 5pm on 12th March specifying whether you wish to contribute a 10 or 20 minute presentation or an alternative format.
