The NHM’s co-founders will join Dr. Angela Colbert, Senior Director of Learning at the Frost Science Museum to discuss strategies for presenting scientific fact in an exhibition context, the responsibility of cultural institutions to respond to climate change, and the politics that shape visual representations of nature.

By pointing to the repressed exterior pressing against the edges of the social-economic-ecological system, this lecture will elaborate the theoretical basis for an environmental politics capable of assembling the unassimilable.

A roundtable discussion hosted by Contemporary Art Research Collaborative, Department of Art & Art Professions at NYU Steinhardt, and Experimental Humanities + Social Engagement at NYU GSAS.

A week of music, art, food, film screenings, conversation and workshops carving out a dedicated and open space to dig deep into the ethics and complexities of funding art and education with fossil fuel money and to imagine a #FossilFreeCulture.

This talk will explore how The Natural History Museum leverages the symbolic and infrastructural power of science museums to transform them into vital infrastructures for environmental progress, champions of science for the common good, and advocates for a just and sustainable future.
