Reimagining Museums for Climate Action: An International Design Competition
www.museumsforclimateaction.org<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.museumsforclimateaction.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7CCarol.Whittaker%40gov.wales%7C4328ce01c2aa4e9a94be08d80160f619%7Ca2cc36c592804ae78887d06dab89216b%7C0%7C0%7C637260863234450200&sdata=S6CLGhTfO15EOnDvTUCBrZWfhusHgW%2B5kRMrkF250hM%3D&reserved=0>

Reimagining Museums for Climate Action asks designers, architects, academics, artists, poets, philosophers, museum professionals and the public at large to radically (re)imagine and (re)design the museum as an institution, to help bring about more equitable and sustainable futures in the climate change era. The competition aims to explore how museums can help society transform to a low carbon future, adapt to the impacts of climate change, and safeguard ecosystems.

As the world confronts a global pandemic that is impacting on all aspects of social, cultural and economic life, many of the certainties we may have had about the future seem less concrete. While thousands of museums around the world are currently closed, new forms of engagement and experimentation have emerged to rethink the relationship between museums and society. Alongside a profound sense of loss and insecurity, there is hope: hope that the multitude of ways in which communities globally have responded to COVID-19 might inspire new forms of radical action to address the climate and ecological emergency. In this moment, it is particularly important to consider the unique capacities of museums to shape more just and sustainable futures.

Entries will be judged by an international panel of museum, architecture and design, climate change, heritage and sustainability experts. Eight finalists will each receive £2,500 to develop their ideas into exhibits, which will be displayed at Glasgow Science Centre ahead of and during COP26, the United Nations Climate Change conference, in 2021. COP26 is due to take place at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC). Glasgow Science Centre (GSC), which is situated next to the SEC, will play a key role in the conference. The exhibition will be accompanied by talks, workshops and other activities encouraging debate around the future role of museums, in times of rapid environmental change.

The competition has been developed by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Heritage Priority Area, led by Professor Rodney Harrison (UCL Institute of Archaeology (IoA)), in partnership with Colin Sterling (IoA), Henry McGhie (Curating Tomorrow), and Emma Woodham (GSC). It launches on the 18th May 2020, for International Museums Day.

Register your interest by 31st July 2020 to submit by the final deadline of 15th September 2020.

Further information is available on the competition website www.museumsforclimateaction.org<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.museumsforclimateaction.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7CCarol.Whittaker%40gov.wales%7C4328ce01c2aa4e9a94be08d80160f619%7Ca2cc36c592804ae78887d06dab89216b%7C0%7C0%7C637260863234460159&sdata=49y1SWon3Gakn5NP7pNewJNUtYr6bWHFx%2BYj83m7Y5A%3D&reserved=0>
