New paper - Slamming the Anthropocene: Performing climate change in museums
Wednesday 29 April 2015
The Centre for Environmental History's Libby Robin and Cameron Muir have published a paper in reCollections: a Journal of Museums and Collections. The paper reviews some recent international museum and events-based ideas emerging around the concept of the Anthropocene, including the Anthropocene Slam: Cabinet of Curiosities event, held in Madison, Wisconsin, in November 2014. It asks, how do we tell stories for the ‘Age of Humans’? How do we bring emotions and moral choices into debates about climate change and economics? In a world marked by the proliferation of 'things', which objects will enchant museum audiences?
