Museums of the 21st Century is a series of public conversations with cultural practitioners altering our conception of what a museum can offer its public. Since Fall 2018, Philadelphia Contemporary has invited visionaries ranging from artists to architects, curators to historians, poets to public officials to consider the possibilities of the museums to come.
On Wednesday, March 30th Philadelphia Contemporary will feature presentations by artist and mythologist Li Sumpter and transdisciplinary ecoartist/ecoart activist Aviva Rahmani. This talk will interrogate the role of art and culture in envisioning resilient and transformative futures in the era of climate change. How might artistic projects intervene to heal and support frontline communities that bear the brunt of the crisis? Sumpter and Rahmani will each present on the process and thinking behind their newest projects, as well as their perspectives on the responsibilities of artists and art workers in the face of ecological emergency.
Registration is required.
