Assembly for permacircular museums – Opening remarks

Assembly for permacircular museums


[21.04.2021]


This introduction session will harvest a broad range of questions
from the project initiators and guest lecturers, framing the
following focus sessions. Institutions increasingly speak of
giving nature a voice, and even rights. How are the ethics and
practices of cultural institutions affected once we take this
claim seriously? Which new visions do we need for art
institutions in what Bruno Latour has called the New Climatic
Regime, and how can we translate self-criticism into action?
